BERWALD SEPTET
This fascinating program begins with Julian Bliss (whose performances have been called “immaculate” by The Guardian) making his Festival debut in one of the best-known works for solo clarinet. After that, it dives into two delightful, lesser-known pieces: Prague-born Erwin Schulhoff’s early-20th-century Concertino for Flute, Viola, and Double Bass—which draws inspiration from an eclectic range of influences, including Czech folk music—and 19th-century Swedish composer Franz Berwald’s charming and stirringly Romantic Septet in B-flat Major.
