Andrzej Cieplinski Plays Jewish Clarinet Masterworks

Distinguished Warsaw-based clarinetist Andrzej Ciepliński will appear in a rare American recital performing Jewish classical music masterworks. This program will feature Alexander Krein’s two suites of “Jewish Sketches” for Clarinet and String Quartet which take inspiration from Yiddish folksong and Klezmer music and Joseph Achron’s Kindersuite, a collection of character pieces inspired by Hebrew cantillation for clarinet, string quartet, and piano. The program will also feature a new work by YIVO’s own Alex Weiser and selections from Ciepliński’s Limanowa project which features recently discovered pre-Holocaust Jewish music found in a small town in Southern Poland. Sergei Prokofiev’s beloved Overture on Hebrew Themes completes the program. Ciepliński will be joined by cellist Julian Schwarz, pianist Marika Bournaki, violinists Peter Sirotin and Daniel Kurganov, and violist Colin Brookes.
