    Sedona News – On Sunday, January 29, 2023 at 3 p.m., Chamber Music Sedona will present “From Classics to Klezmer,” a concert headlined by long-time Sedona friend and audience favorite, clarinetist Alex Fiterstein. Joined by violinist Kristin Lee, pianist Qian Wu, and cellist and Chamber Music Sedona Artistic Director Nicholas Canellakis, the program will include works ranging from the classics to the wild and fun world of Klezmer – an instrumental musical tradition of the Ashkenazi Jews of Central and Eastern Europe – as seen through the soulful voice of the clarinet. The second concert of Chamber Music Sedona’s 40th Anniversary Season, “From Classics to Klezmer” will take place at the Sedona Performing Arts Center, 995 Upper Red Rock Loop Rd, Sedona, AZ 86336. There will also be a salon featuring Lee and Wu held in a private home on Thursday, January 26 at 5:30 p.m.

    Recognized for playing that combines flawless technique and consummate musicianship with graceful phrasing and a warm soulful tone, Alex Fiterstein is considered one of today’s most exceptional clarinet players. A winner of a 2009 Avery Fisher Career Grant, he has performed in recital and with prestigious orchestras and chamber music ensembles worldwide. Fiterstein is also the founder of The Zimro Project, a unique ensemble dedicated to incorporating Jewish art music into chamber music programs. He has worked with composers John Corigliano and Osvaldo Golijov and has had pieces written for him by Samuel Adler and Mason Bates, among others.

    A winner of numerous awards including a 2015 Avery Fisher Career Grant, Kristin Lee is regarded as a violinist of remarkable versatility and impeccable technique who enjoys a vibrant career as a soloist, recitalist, chamber musician, and educator. She is also the co-founder and Artistic Director of Emerald City Music, a chamber music series that presents authentically unique concert experiences and bridges the divide between the highest caliber classical music and the many diverse communities of the Puget Sound region of Washington State.

Her debut recording of works by Schumann, Liszt and the young composer Alexander Prior was released in April 2009 on the Dal Segno label to worldwide acclaim.

Light hors d’oeuvres and local wine will be served.
