Clarinet phenom Richard Stoltzman performs Aaron Copland’s popular, jazzy concerto, surrounded by toe-tapping music by Leonard Bernstein and Naropa composer/pianist Bill Douglas. Douglas wrote these two pieces for Stoltzman, a longtime collaborator, and they perform together on the program. This evening of music from America closes with Dvořák’s stunning New World Symphony.
