Clarinetist David Krakauer to Perform as Soloist with the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, 4/21
Clarinetist David Krakauer will be the featured soloist with the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra led by Stefan Sanderling on Sunday, April 21, 2013 at 3pm, at The New Jersey Performing Arts Center (One Center Street, Newark). This is a rare opportunity to hear Krakauer perform both classical and Klezmer music with an orchestra - he will play Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, as well as his unique arrangement of the traditional Klezmer tune Der Heyser Bulgar and his own Synagogue Wail. The concert also includes Copland's Appalachian Spring. The performance, which is open to the public, is the 16thAnnual United Jewish Appeal Federation Benefit Concert.
Krakauer occupies the unique position of being both one of the world's leading exponents of Eastern European Jewish Klezmer music, plus a major voice in classical music and avant-garde improvisation. The New York Times describes him as "a breathtakingly flamboyant clarinetist, racing through every octave of his instrument and turning trills into laughs or cries of anguish."
