Joshua Rubin, clarinet
Jacob Greenberg, piano
Ross Karre, percussion

OpenICE continues to present audacious performances to all audiences at no cost at the Chicago Cultural Center's beautiful Preston Bradley Hall. In the series' fourth Chicago installment, clarinetist Joshua Rubin, pianist Jacob Greenberg, and percussionist Ross Karre present a program featuring pieces that represent the extremes of musical emotions. Using Hungarian composer György Kurtág's richly varied music as a baseline, this concert bounds from Mozart's warmth of expression, to the cool and collected music of Klaus Lang.
