Assistant Teaching Professor of Music (clarinet) Elisha Willinger presents a Faculty Artist Series recital. A winner of competitions including the 2012 Yamaha Young Performing Artists competition, 2017 Yale Chamber Music Society, and 2019 International Clarinet Association’s orchestral competition, he has performed in the US, Europe, and Canada and was soloist with The Royal Conservatory Chamber Orchestra. A review in The Clarinet hailed his playing “for its intimacy, sincerity, and deep musicality” and “full of rhythmic verve and joyful energy… producing a tone that was rich and centered, and phrasing that reflected a thoughtful and sensitive approach.” Appearances also include the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concerts broadcasted on WFMT Chicago radio and Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall. He has spent summers performing as a fellow with the Spoleto Festival USA Orchestra, National Repertory Orchestra, Sarasota, Norfolk, American Institute of Musical Studies in Graz, Austria, among others.
