Richard and Peter John Stoltzman
Richard Stoltzman (clarinet) and Peter John Stoltzman (piano), father and son, have delighted audiences in the US from Washington State to Washington DC and throughout Italy and Japan. The Stoltzmans have been featured on CBS Sunday Morning, NPRs Performance Today and Weekend Edition shows as well as on the Voice of America network.

Richard and Peter John Stoltzman will perform a concert of American works by artists such as Bernstein, Copland, Carter, Gershwin, Ellington, Brubeck, Monk, and Porter.

All proceeds from this concert will go toward the First Unitarian Society of Denver capital project fund.  The planned renovation will preserve and enhance our building, which was recently designated as a Denver City Landmark.  This important maintenance and update work will allow us to better serve our community and expand our social justice work.

About Richard Stoltzman
Richard Stoltzman's virtuosity, musicianship and sheer personal magnetism have made him one of today's most sought-after concert artists. As soloist with over a hundred orchestras, a captivating recitalist, an innovative jazz artist, and a prolific recording artist, this two-time Grammy Award winner has defied categorization, dazzling critics and audiences alike throughout many musical genres. Stoltzman's unique way with the clarinet has earned him an international reputation as he has opened up possibilities for the instrument that no one could have predicted.

He gave the first clarinet recitals at both the Hollywood Bowl and Carnegie Hall, and became the first wind player to receive the Avery Fisher Prize. He has performed or recorded with such jazz and pop greats as Gary Burton, the Canadian Brass, Chick Corea, Judy Collins, Steve Gadd, Eddie Gomez, Keith Jarrett, the Kings Singers, Mike Manieri, George Shearing, Wayne Shorter, Mel Tormé, Spyro Gyra founder Jeremy Wall and Kazumi Watanabe.  His commitment to new music has resulted in numerous premieres, including acclaimed clarinet works written for him by Steve Reich, Toru Takemitsu, Stephen Hartke, Einojuhani Rautavaara and Yehudi Wyner.  As a ten-year participant in the Marlboro Music Festival, Stoltzman gained extensive chamber music experience, and subsequently became a founding member of the noted ensemble TASHI, which made its debut in 1973.

Richard Stoltzman's discography numbers well over seventy recordings.  His most recent release is "Resolve" released on the PARMA label in 2014 featuring works of Hindemith.  He has won Grammy Awards for his recordings of the Brahms Sonatas with Richard Goode, and Trios of Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms with Yo-Yo Ma and Emanuel Ax.  In addition to his appearance in Michael Lawrences acclaimed documentary film, Bach & friends, he was featured in the International EMMY Award-winning series "Concerto!" with Dudley Moore and Michael Tilson Thomas.

Richard Stoltzman resides in Massachusetts and is a passionate Boston Red Sox baseball fan. He is also a Cordon Bleu trained pastry chef.

"He is an artist of indescribable genius... Stoltzman is the preeminent soloist on the clarinet today. He is a musician of flawless taste, one with few rivals anywhere on any instrument." ~ The Washington Post
