This dance-themed program will bring some pep into your step! This concert features music for clarinet and piano, both solo and together.

The program includes the toe-tapping and energetic Three Spanish Dances by Philip Lane, Libby Larsen’s novel and interesting Dancing Solo for clarinet, and The Dream Rags, a quirky selection for piano by William Albright.

Leonard Bernstein’s Sonata for Clarinet and Piano is full of jazzy, rocking rhythms, with sections that foreshadow his work in West Side Story.

Since 1991, Spotlight on Faculty has highlighted the prestigious Hochstein faculty in a variety of ensembles and musical genres from chamber music and dance to jazz, contemporary, and classical. A key feature of the Spotlight on Faculty concerts is that Hochstein faculty members work together to create their own program and submit proposals to perform on the series.

Each concert begins at 7:00 pm and lasts about an hour. Admission is $10 per person, with a $20 family maximum. Concerts are free to Hochstein students/families, faculty, and staff.

Please note that masks will be required at Hochstein for all persons age 2 and older, regardless of vaccination status. Distancing is encouraged. Click here to read Hochstein's COVID safety protocols.

The Spotlight on Faculty concert series is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature.
