Composer/clarinetist Karl Henning makes his Atlanta debut tonight
Tuesday, November 17th, 2009
Boston-based composer/clarinetist Karl Henning will make his Atlanta debut tonight (Tues., Nov. 17) at 8 p.m. at Emory Presbyterian Church. Admission is $10/$5 students.
Henning is in Atlanta to perform much of his music for unaccompanied clarinet, and Nicole Randall-Chamberlain will perform his music for unaccompanied flute (and a new work of her own). Together they will play some of Karl’s music for flute and clarinet duo.
You may recall that Karl’s percussion sextet “Journey to the Dayspring” as one of the works on the inaugural concert of the Schwartz Center.

R. Timothy Brady is a soft-spoken young man whose immersion in the arts and sense of moral imperative has taken him on a mission to Iraq. Last Saturday, the composer/activist left Atlanta for Erbil, the capital of Iraq’s northern Kurdistan region, to establish an English-language academy where he will teach music, all under the auspices of the nonprofit Soulbird Inc., of which Brady is founder and executive director.
On July 1, 1979, thirty years ago today, the original Sony Walkman made its public debut as the world’s first portable music player, making delivery of pre-recorded music on-the-go truly practical for the first time, and freeing listeners to take their tunes with them wherever they liked, essentially hands-free.
