[Anthony McGill]

We have taken great pleasure from our copy of Anthony McGill: That Lightness of Spirit, and since acquiring it have continued to follow Anthony McGill's performance career with interest. Our friend Sergio Mims sends this news of an upcoming concert at Carnegie Hall January 15, 2012:

“I thought you would be interested in this. The Metropolitan Opera principal clarinetist Anthony McGill will be performing with Renée Fleming and the MET Orchestra with Fabio Luisi at Carnegie Hall on Jan 15. He's performing Aaron Coplands' Clarinet Concerto and other works:
