  • Copland's Clarinet Concerto
  • Allan Gilliland wrote his jazz-inspired concerto Dreaming of the Masters I as both a homage to great clarinet players of the past, and as a showcase for Leduc-born clarinet virtuoso James Campbell. Leonard Bernstein’s Fancy Free was a breathtaking Jerome Robbins ballet that inspired the acclaimed musical On the Town. Its vivacious score is matched with two works by Bernstein’s friend and legendary American composer Aaron Copland. James Campbell presents Copland’s famous Clarinet Concerto, while his Music for the Theater is also featured.
