MARLBORO — Acclaimed composer and virtuoso clarinetist Jörg Widmann will be featured in both capacities on the second weekend of concerts at Marlboro Music, where he is 2019 resident composer.
The Saturday, July 20, concert at 8 p.m. will offer a varied program with Widmann's Octet for strings, clarinet, bassoon, and horn, the Mozart Flute Quartet in D Major, and Tchaikovsky's “Souvenir de Florence” for String Sextet.
On Sunday, July 21, at 2:30 p.m., co-Artistic Director Mitsuko Uchida will close the program with the Schubert Piano Trio in E-flat Major with violinist Alexi Kenny and cellist Efe Baltacigil. Two years ago, the three artists gave a memorable performance of the B-flat Trio, a piece Uchida played in her first summer at Marlboro as a young artist in 1974.
Also on the program will be the rarely-heard Schubert Ellens Gesange, with soprano Lucy Fitz Gibbon and pianist Evren Ozel and the Widmann Clarinet Quintet with the composer as clarinetist, violinists Abigail Fayette and Emilie-Anne Gendron, violist Maiya Papach, and cellist Baltacigil.
