CLASSICAL NIRVANA! Sunday, December 18th at 3:00 pm Purchase Performing Arts Center Kazem Abdullah, conducting Anthony McGill, clarinet Mendelssohn: Hebrides Overture Weber: Clarinet Concerto No. 1 Bizet: Symphony in C CHECK OUT THESE "BEFORE & AFTER" PHOTOS OF McGILL AND ABDULLAH! For both Kazem Abdullah and Anthony McGill this program represents return engagements with the Westchester Philharmonic, but the first time together since their boyhood days at Interlochen Band Camp, where both were clarinet students. Indiana-born Abdullah migrated to the conductor’s podium, where he eventually took the reins as Music Director of the City of Aachen, Germany, and has since won wide acclaim in the U.S. for leading the revival of Anthony Davis’ X: The Life and Times of Malcom X with the Detroit Opera, which will move to the Metropolitan Opera later in 2023. McGill has gone on to worldwide fame with the clarinet, first gaining wide attention when he performed with Yo-Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman on the Capitol steps for the first inauguration of Barack Obama. He has since been named Principal Clarinet of the New York Philharmonic. Order tickets online now! https://www.artscenter.org/events/westchester-philharmonic-classical-nirvana/ (fb)
