Azmeh’s expressive clarinet meets Kyle Sanna’s rustic guitar in this outdoor concert, part of WCCMA’s summer concert series. These two celebrated award-winning composers, improvisers and, most importantly, dear friends have been playing together for the past 18 years. They have toured the world together with the Kinan Azmeh CityBand among many other projects. In this performance, they return to Claremont with new original compositions inspired by a multitude of traditions for this intimate setting. A post-concert Q & A will follow the concert.
Registration suggested, but not required. Outdoors at Union Episcopal Church, or on YouTube. azmehsanna2021.eventbrite.com
