Additional Information
At the end of his life, the composer Johannes Brahms experienced a sort of Indian summer, a renewal of his creative passion thanks to the discovery of the expressive possibilities of the clarinet. The result is a series of new compositions, masterpieces, which are still admired today. One of these is the Clarinet Trio, Opus 114, for clarinet, cello, and piano. On Tuesday, April 7 at 5 PM, in the enchanting setting of the 9th floor of the Eaton Centre in Montreal, clarinettist James Campbell, cellist Cameron Crozman, and pianist Meagan Milatz will perform this gem of romantic chamber music. As a complement to the program, they will also play Beethoven’s Clarinet Trio, Opus 11, a sort of mirror to Brahms. The latter, indeed, is a work of great maturity, fully embraced and mastered, while Beethoven’s Opus 11 is a youthful work, when the composer was still under classical influence (Haydn, among others), but with premonitions of what his own personal style would later become. I spoke with the cellist Cameron Crozman about this music, as well as the concert series on the 9th floor, titled HausMusique, in which he and Meagan Milatz (co-director) offer high-quality chamber music concerts in Montreal throughout the year.
