Commissioned in 2011 by a consortium of 11 of the country’s top clarinetists, American composer Scott McAllister has written the single longest solo work for clarinet and piano, aptly entitled: Epic. The piece draws inspiration from McAllister’s life experiences as a clarinetist and composer, including traditional warm-up exercises, orchestral excerpts, composer Aaron Copland, clarinet legend Robert Marcellus, folk singer Richie Haven’s High Flyin’ Bird, and even the late pop icon Michael Jackson. This will certainly be a performance worthy of the title Epic, and is not to be missed!
