LeClair & Walters Concert

Presented by HVMS

Many of the great musicians of our time have presented classes and performances at Hidden Valley.  Our Masters' Festival Series continues the tradition this summer with six concerts featuring music for English Horn, Cello, Oboe, Bassoon, Flute, and Clarinet.  These master musicians leave their symphony orchestras behind to bring you an intimate evening of music focused on solo & duo instruments as you've never heard them before.

June 24    Judith LeClair & Robert Walters   
Bassoon & English Horn  

Prepare to be dazzled when New York Philharmonic's Judith LeClair and The Cleveland Orchestra's Robert Walters come together for a concert of bassoon and english horn artistry.  Their program, as diverse and deep as their talents, includes works by Paquito d' Riviera, Prokofiev, Glinka, Saint-Saëns, and Milde.  They are joined by Juilliard pianist Zsolt Balogh.

Ms. LeClair, an internationally active chamber player, is on the faculty at the Juilliard School, and has gives master classes throughout the world. Ms LeClair premiered The Five Sacred Trees, a concerto written for her by John Williams.

Mr. Walters has been the solo english hornist for The Cleveland Orchestra since 2004.  Prior to coming to Cleveland, Mr. Walters was the solo english horn player of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra (2000-04), and with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra (1997-2000).
