His topic will be “The Contemporary Clarinet – An Unaccompanied Tale”, and his recital will feature important masterpieces written for unaccompanied clarinet.

He has performed with the Israel Philharmonic, the Lucerne (Switzerland) Festival Orchestra, the Chicago Civic Orchestra, and the Spoleto Festival Orchestra; working with many of the world’s most famous conductors such as Pierre Boulez, Zubin Mehta, Kurt Mazur, and others. He has also performed as solo clarinetist with noted orchestras, and currently plays with Trio di Colore, an award-winning chamber group which he founded. The Trio has recently recorded works by the French composer Jean Francaix.
