Now, Brohn has written a double concerto for violin, clarinet and orchestra based on Washington Irving’s exotic "Tales of the Alhambra." The vivid, dreamlike music was written for MSU instrumental titans Walter and Elsa Verdehr.
The Verdehrs — with Walter on violin and Elsa on clarinet — will premiere the work with the MSU Symphony Saturday as part of a monster concert that includes Camille Saint-Saens’ chest-rattling "Organ Symphony" and a prelude by Richard Strauss that calls for 21 extra trumpets.
No falling asleep, now.
