Echoes of the Saint Cecilia Society: The Basset Clarinet

The Old Exchange Building
122 East Bay Street, Charleston, SC
Join us for a lecture concert with guest clarinetist Graeme Steele Johnson, who will introduce us to the historic basset Clarinet. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet in A major, K. 581 (which Graeme will be performing with Chamber Music Charleston on November 8), was originally written for the basset clarinet, an extended-range instrument designed for his friend, the virtuoso clarinetist Anton Stadler.
