Featured Artists
John Bruce Yeh
John Bruce Yeh has spanned five decades in his time with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, having been appointed solo bass clarinet of听鈥猼he orchestra听at the age of 19 by Sir Georg Solti. Two years later, he听was named听assistant principal and solo E-flat clarinet. He served as acting principal clarinet of the CSO from 2008-2011.
Yeh has performed concertos with the CSO on several occasions, including the 1998 American premiere of Elliott Carter鈥檚 Clarinet Concerto with Pierre Boulez conducting and the 1993 performance of Carl Nielsen鈥檚 Clarinet Concerto with听Neeme听J盲rvi. An enthusiastic champion of new music, Yeh is the dedicatee of new works for clarinet by numerous composers, ranging from Ralph听Shapey听to听鈥狫ohn Williams. A听prize winner听at both the 1982 Munich International Music Competition and the 1985听Naumburg听Clarinet Competition in New York, Yeh continues to solo with orchestras around the globe.
Michael Lowenstern
Michael Lowenstern, widely considered one of the finest bass clarinetists in the world, has performed, recorded and toured as a soloist and with ensembles of every variety.听Lowenstern has written music for concert, film, dance and various other media over the span of his 25-year career. His collaborations have included remixes for the landmark recording 鈥淚n C Remixed,鈥� featured on NPR鈥檚 RadioLab, Michael Gordon鈥檚 video opera 鈥淐haos鈥� and various dance works with David Lang. He has also performed with ensembles as diverse as the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, Steve Reich Ensemble, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and the Klezmatics. To date he can be heard on more than听50 CDs, including six solo recordings of his own.听Not satisfied with the status-quo in music education, Lowenstern's (irreverent and occasionally controversial) YouTube channel has become a source of information and edutainment for millions of viewers across the globe.
Special thanks to our exhibitors!听
