    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.

    On January 26, Lee will perform a winter salon alongside pianist Qian Wu. After being selected as the classical music bright young star for 2007 by the Independent Newspaper, Wu has performed numerous recitals internationally and regularly appears in articles, radio and television programs, including being interviewed on BBC 4 and BBC World. 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. At the winter salon, Wu and Lee will perform a recital of classics and delights from the vast violin-piano genre, in the intimate setting of one of Sedona’s beautiful homes. Light hors d’oeuvres and local wine will be served.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
