Eric Abramovitz, clarinet x 4 TSO Strings

A special treat! Eric has created a program for clarinet and string quartet, featuring four of his TSO colleagues. He has been TSO’s principal clarinet since 2021. A Montreal native, he was named CBC Next! artist in 2013, Vandoren Emerging Artist of the year in 2017, and was a Sylva Gelber Career Grant recipient in 2016. Eric has been featured as a soloist with numerous orchestras including the l’Orchestre symphonique de Québec, and the NAC Orchestra. Joining Eric are his TSO colleagues Luri Lee & Kun Yan, violins, Rémi Pelletier, viola, and Lucia Ticho, cello.

The program will feature Gershwin, Bartok, Florence Price clarinet arrangements (by Eric) along with the sublime Mozart Clarinet Quintet in A Major, K. 581.
