Recital
Clarinetist Shirley Brill is acclaimed for her expressive playing and musicality. She studied at the Musikhochschule Lübeck in Germany and at the New England Conservatory in Boston. In October 2021, she was appointed professor of clarinet at the Hochschule für Musik Nürnberg in Germany. Brill presents three absolute masterpieces that fully showcase the warm timbre and expressive possibilities of the clarinet.
Shirley Brill will be accompanied by pianist Jonathan Aner.
“Shirley Brill is one of the most accomplished clarinetists of our day … She is blessed with a beautiful sound, sensitive musicality and a deep understanding for structure.”
