Rethinking the Fourth of July: a concert of American solo clarinet music
America—a union of singular voices. As our coins say, “E Pluribus Unum”: out of many, one. So our music has been the song of the solitary, self-directed voice seeking its audience. Throughout our history, this nation has sung again and again through the solo clarinet. Primitive, whimsical, curious, pleading, playful, daring, sometimes abstract and learned, the clarinet has been the solo voice of America.

Clarinetist Steven Jackson performs a musical mix that spans nearly 200 years of our musical heritage. Musical iconoclast John Cage, a Benny Goodman improvisation, a Shaker melody, the great film composer Miklos Rozsa, America’s two most celebrated composers of classical music Aaron Copland and Elliott Carter, minstrel tunes—all and more will be heard in a concert that tells the unity and richness of our country.

This will be the encore concert in our 2008–2009 series. It will be held on Wednesday, July 1 at 8:00 here at the Brighton Allston Congregational Church.

Tickets are $10 general admission, $5 for seniors and students, and free to low income people. The proceeds from the concert benefit the restoration of the church's Community Supper kitchen.
