TUESDAY MATINEES CLARA SCHUMANN – Three Romances, Op. 22 ALBAN BERG – Vier Stücke, Op. 5 CARL MARIA VON WEBER – Grand Duo Concertant, Op. 48 ROBERT SCHUMANN – Three Romances, Op. 94 PAUL HINDEMITH – Sonata for Viola and Piano, Op. 11 No. 4 (arr. Jonathan Leibovitz for clarinet and piano) PAUL BEN-HAIM – Three Songs without Words With pianist Matteo Generani Jonathan Leibovitz is “an extraordinarily gifted clarinetist” with “that singular ability to mesmerise the listener in everything he does, moulding every phrase with imagination, infallible control and above all with a commanding personality” (BBC Music Magazine). The program traces the lineage of the German-speaking musical tradition of the 19th and early 20th centuries, one of the most fertile chapters in Western music and a world of Romantic introspection, rigorous craftsmanship and expressive depth. A winner of the prestigious Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship in 2024, he is the winner of the 2022 Arthur Waser Prize and the 2021 Crusell International Clarinet Competition, and a laureate of both the Israeli Wind Competition and the Aviv Competition of the America-Israeli Cultural Foundation. As a concerto soloist, Leibovitz has performed with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, the Israel Chamber Orchestra, and the Vaasa City and Kuopio Symphony Orchestras in Finland. In 2024, he released his debut album, Eastern Reflections, on Delphian Records.
