Gifts of Art presents Chamber Music for Clarinet & Strings
by Friends of the LSO Chamber Ensemble

Members of the U-M Life Sciences Orchestra are joined by friends to perform Mozart’s quintet K. 581 and excerpts from Brahms quintet Op. 115 for clarinet and strings. Mozart’s quintet is one of the earliest and best-known works written for the clarinet, with many lyrical melodies. The quintet by Brahms is a late work, perhaps one of his best chamber music compositions. The musicians in the group are doctors and university professors based in Ann Arbor: William Burnham, clarinet; Michael Bonner and Cornelia Betschart Meier, violin; Niels Herold, viola; and Alejandro Uribe, cello.
