The acclaimed Los Angeles Clarinet Choir, an ensemble of 14 clarinetists under the direction of its Associate Conductor, Victoria Ramos, performs an international program of folk, jazz, and film-inspired new music at Pasadena City College's Westerbeck Recital Hall, Saturday, May 14, at 8 PM. Admission is $15 general, $10 students and seniors. Children under 12 are free.
The concert includes "Hazy Mountain Atmosphere" by Japanese composer Hiroaki Kataoka; the tango "Canaro in Paris" by Alejandro Scarpino arranged by Masciotta; the cool-jazz classic "Monochrome" for nine soprano clarinets by Peter Schickele, "Pater Noster" by Satoshi Yagisawa, and the groovy "Takumi's Boogie" by Bruce Stark. A show-and-tell of the instruments using themes from "Peter and the Wolf" will take place midway through the concert. The program is suitable for all ages.
