Marian Liebowitz, clarinet: with Richard Thompson, piano

Clarinetist Marian Liebowitz has emerged as one of California's leading wind soloists since winning the U.S. State Department/Kennedy Center 1997 Artistic Ambassador Competition. Her critically acclaimed tours to Latin America have taken her from Guatemala to Chile, including a special invitation as U.S. representative to El Salvador's Third Annual Peace Festival.

Her program, titled Jewish Friends and Neighbors, will explore how Jewish composers worked within their communities and how non-Jewish composers threaded Eastern European influences into their music.
