Sedona AZ (August 30, 2019) – The Red Rocks Music Festival is proud to partner with the Sedona International Film Festival to present a special concert at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Sunday, Sept. 8 at 3 p.m.

The concert — “From Mozart to Gershwin and More” — will include selections by Mozart, Coleridge-Taylor, Gershwin and Webern.

Featured artists and musicians are:
  • David Ehrlich, violin — Fine Arts Outreach Fellow, VA Tech
  • Yibin Li, violin — Faculty at Julliard & Mannes Music Schools
  • Christopher Mckay, principal viola — The Phoenix Symphony
  • Jan Simiz, assist. principal cello — The Phoenix Symphony
  • Alex Laing, principal clarinet — the Phoenix Symphony
The program will include selections from Mozart Clarinet quintet, K. 581, written in 1789 and is one of the earliest and best known works written for the clarinet and a string quartet.

The clarinet quintet by English composer Samuel Coleridge Taylor was written in 1895 as a challenge not to write a clarinet quintet modeling after the Brahms clarinet quintet. This enchanted work is rarely performed and to our knowledge, it will be performed for the first time in Sedona.
