Steven R. Gerber Duet for Solo Clarinet to be Performed by Peter Furniss
on October 24 at The Warehouse in London, England

Steven R. Gerber’s Duet for Solo Clarinet will be presented by
clarinetist Peter Furniss on Wednesday, October 24 – 7:30 PM at The
Warehouse, 13 Theed Street in London, England.

The 7-minute Duet was written in 2005 and was given its World Premiere
in July, 2006 by Alex Fiterstein at Bargemusic in Brooklyn, NY.

This concert will celebrate the recent Clarinet Classics release, Time
Pieces, 60 years of American music for clarinet and piano (CC0054).
Works from the CD by Leonard Bernstein, James Cohn, Richard Dudas and
Michael Kaulkin will be presented along with the Gerber and a new work
by Arlene Sierra. Mr. Furniss will be accompanied by pianist David
Leiher Jones.

Tickets for the October 24 concert are £10/£6, available at the door.

Steven R. Gerber’s music has gained international attention as a result
of three CD releases (on Chandos, Koch and Arabesque), featuring several
of his major orchestral works, including the Symphony No. 1, Clarinet,
Viola, Violin and Cello concertos and Spirituals for Orchestra. Of the
Symphony No. 1, Evening Moscow wrote, “Gerber could serve as an example
of American musical professionalism …he stands out with the highest of
temperaments and musical taste.” Mr. Gerber has written for a number of
fine soloists including Jon Manasse for the clarinet concerto, Yuri
Bashmet for the viola concerto, Kurt Nikkanen for the violin concerto
and Carter Brey for the cello concerto. His work has been performed by
groups such as the Louisville Orchestra, Knoxville Chamber Orchestra,
the Fine Arts Quartet, the National Chamber Orchestra and the Russian
Philharmonic. Read the Fall 2007 edition of his Online Update
newsletter, including information about the new release of Spirituals,
