The festival's second concert highlights U.Va. faculty members Rob Patterson, clarinet, and Elizabeth Roberts, bassoon, who will collaborate with pianist John Mayhood in recital on Sunday, February 3 at 1:30 pm. The group will perform Mikhail Glinka's "Trio Pathétique," a four-movement work that highlights the soaring lyricism and technical demands of the Russian composer's music. Roberts will perform Maurice Allard's "Variations on a Theme of Paganini" for solo bassoon, a showpiece whose melodies will be immediately recognizable to fans of Niccolò Paganini's set of virtuosic violin caprices. The recital also features works by Jean Françaix, Francis Poulenc, and Hector Villa-Lobos. Patter son will perform Mario Davidovsky's "Synchronisms No. 12" for clarinet and electronics, and the trio will perform Felix Mendelssohn's timeless Concertpieces Nos. 1 and 2 to bookend their performance.
