American Landscapes with Yevgeny Dokshansky, Clarinetist at Hylton Performing Arts Center

University of Houston clarinet professor Yevgeny Dokshansky takes the stage as guest artist for this all-American program, featuring the world premiere of Jacob Kohut’s clarinet concerto, Three American Landscapes. Praised by BBC Music Magazine as “highly engaging,” the Belarusian-born American clarinetist also serves as Principal Clarinet of Baltimore’s Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra.

Dr. Jacob Kohut, a Northern Virginia-based composer, educator, and sergeant in the 257th Army Band, created this innovative work on commission by the Manassas Symphony. The program is rounded out with music by Florence Price and Virgil Thomson, concluding with Aaron Copland’s evocative Suite from Billy the Kid.
