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 von Weber Clarinet Quintet in B-flat Major, Op. 34.
