Sala Carlos Chávez

—

Clarinetist Manuel Hernández joins cellist Miguel Ángel Villeda and pianist Naoya Seino for two of Brahms's final chamber works, both written for clarinet after the composer met soloist Richard Mühlfeld in the 1890s. The intimate Sala Carlos Chávez hosts this commented concert, part of Música UNAM's series designed to foster active listening through expert commentary by Juan Arturo Brennan. These late works marked Brahms's return to composition after he had considered retirement, expanding the clarinet's chamber repertoire at the close of the 19th century.
