Concinnity Quartet is Headed to Assisi, Italy!

A few days before Christmas 2012, we received fantastic news. We were invited to play a full recital at the International Clarinet Association ClarinetFest 2013. All four of us were incredibly excited - we applied to perform in a Potpourri concert with a number of other groups, and we never imagined we would be invited to play our own recital.


The timing of ClarinetFest works perfectly. We had also been considering the Interharmony International Music Festival in Arcidosso, which is the two weeks prior to ClarinetFest. We have been accepted to Interharmony, and are in the process of finalizing our travel plans to get to Italy in July. 

We're also discussing repertoire for a well-rounded recital of 24-26 minutes. We are absolutely thrilled to be able to premiere a new work written for us by Yoshi Onishi, winner of the 2011 Gaudeamus Prize. He is an alumnus not only of the University of the Pacific Conservatory of Music, but of the clarinet studio! Look out for a future post with all the details of this exciting new piece - we are thrilled.

So, what are your thoughts? Any favorite clarinet quartet standards we should consider?
