David Krakauer to give
WORLD PREMIERE
with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra
and guest conductor Andrew Litton
On December 10 - 13, David Krakauer will be guest soloist with the Detroit Symphony in the world premiere of a new Concerto for Klezmer Clarinet and Orchestra by promising Polish wunderkind Wlad Marhulets. The young Marhulets, who has been praised by John Corigliano as "brilliant and uniquely talented" with "the makings of a major international composer," calls the commission a "dream come true," crediting Krakauer's recordings for inspiring him to become a composer and clarinetist. "[Marhulets'] music has the rare mix of tremendous craftsmanship, humor, vision and originality," says Krakauer, "In fact, it is rare indeed to run into someone so young whose original voice is already so clearly formed. Hearing his music for the first time was an astonishing and moving experience." Also on the evening's program are Haydn's Symphony No. 67 and The Planets by Gustav Holst.
