FWSO Stars: Stas Chernyshev and Joshua Elmore Play Strauss 

Overview

Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra principal clarinet Stas Chernyshev joins principal bassoon Joshua Elmore for the Duet-Concertino by Richard Strauss, who gave the music the following program: “A dancing princess is alarmed by the grotesque cavorting of a bear... she is won over to the creature and dances with it, upon which it turns into a prince...” The concert begins with Felix Mendelssohn’s Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage, which begins with a meditative passage followed by an adventurous allegro, and the program concludes with Schumann’s optimistic second symphony.
