LINCOLN, Neb.— University of Nebraska-Lincoln Glenn Korff School of Music faculty Diane Barger, Mark Clinton and Jeff McCray will combine to present a night of music in Westbrook Recital Hall on December 9 at 7:30 p.m.

This recital program features two “bookends” of works originally composed for clarinet, bassoon, and piano (Hurlstone’s Variations in G minor and Douglas’s Trio #2) and two compositions written for clarinet, piano, and a string instrument (viola – Bruch’s Acht Stücke, op. 83; and cello – Muczynski’s Fantasy Trio, op. 26).

While the Bruch and Muczynski trios certainly are masterworks in the repertoire in their original instrumentation, they also lend themselves well to the tonal characteristics of the bassoon and offer depth in the literature for this particular instrumental ensemble of clarinet – bassoon – piano.

From one of the earliest works of an unschooled composer (Hurlstone), to the masterpieces of Bruch and Muczynski, concluding with the commissioned work of a seasoned 21st Century composer (Douglas), we hope this performance showcases the depth of literature available for this unique instrumental combination.

The performance is free and open to the public. It will also be live webcast. Visit music.unl.edu the night of the event for the link.
