Event McGill Plays Mozart Naples Philharmonic Wang Chamber Music Anthony McGill , clarinet Musicians of the Naples Philharmonic James Lee III — Principal Brothers No. 3 for Solo Clarinet Schulhoff — Concertino Mozart — Clarinet Quintet Clarinetist Anthony McGill is one of classical music's most recognizable and multifaceted figures. A 2020 Avery Fisher Prize winner, he has been praised for his "trademark brilliance, penetrating sound and rich character" ( The New York Times ), whether performing as a soloist or serving as principal clarinet for the New York Philharmonic. In this performance, he joins musicians of the Naples Philharmonic for a program featuring Mozart's sublime Clarinet Quintet and James Lee III's Stravinsky-inspired solo work, written specifically for McGill. Between these works, members of the orchestra explore Czech folk influences alongside the European avant-garde in Erwin Schulhoff's Concertino , a high-energy, atmospheric piece notable for its unique instrumentation of flute, viola and double bass.
