Shriver Hall Concert Series - Baltimore's premier presenter of chamber music ensembles and solo recitalists - presents a virtual premiere concert featuring the McGill/McHale Trio in works by Poulenc, Debussy, Paul Schoenfield, Guillaume Connesson, and Chris Rogerson on Sunday, DECEMBER 6, 2020 at 5:30pm EST.
The trio is comprised of principal clarinetist of the New York Philharmonic and Avery Fisher Prize-winning clarinetist Anthony McGill; his brother, Avery Fisher Prize-winning flutist and principal flute of the Seattle Symphony, Demarre McGill; and one of Ireland's leading concert pianists, Michael McHale.
The performance was recorded in DECEMBER 2019 at the 92nd Street Y and features a program of Chris Rogerson's A Fish Will Rise, Poulenc's Sonata for Flute and Piano, Dvořák's Slavonic Dance No. 8 arranged by Michael Webster, Guillaume Connesson's Techno-parade, "Jardins Sous La Pluie" from Debussy's Estampes, Poulenc's Sonata for Clarinet and Piano, and Paul Schoenfield's Sonatina.
The McGill/McHale Trio says, "We've had such a great time performing together as a trio over the last few years, in particular exploring a lot of lesser-known music and discovering some real hidden gems, which we're looking forward to sharing with you all in this virtual concert. It has been a testing time for so many people around the globe, and the arts community has had to adjust to various new realities as we live through this pandemic. Although we all miss that irreplaceable experience of music-making in person with a live audience, we are so grateful to Shriver Hall Concert Series for arranging this online concert to replace our Baltimore début performance this month, and we would like to thank each and every one of you for supporting this wonderful series."
Ticket holders can watch the concert on demand for three days after the premiere and also have access to a post-concert chat with the artists moderated by Executive Director of Shriver Hall Concert Series, Catherine Cochran. In the pre-recorded conversation, the trio members discuss the intersection of their roles as artists and their roles as citizens. Learn more about the McGill brothers' journey from their childhood in the south side of Chicago to their current posts as principals of major American orchestras and advocates for social change. Michael McHale talks about identity struggles surrounding being Irish and the similar issues Ireland wrestled with during its own profound internal divisions.
