Anthony McGill, clarinet | Anna Polonsky, piano

The uniquely sensual colors of clarinet and piano promise to dazzle in this program by two extraordinary musicians.  Anthony McGill, principal clarinetist of the New York Philharmonic, has been hailed for his “trademark brilliance, penetrating sound and rich character” (The New York Times). Anna Polonsky, McGill’s partner on our stage, is “a chamber musician of exceptional refinement [with] an appealing touch and compelling interpretive skills” (The New York Times) and “consistently captivating” (The Washington Post).
