Chattanooga Clarinet Choir with Brian Viliunas

As part of the North River Civic Center’s Sunset Concert Series, the Chattanooga Clarinet Choir will present a mostly classical concert on Friday, October 14th, under the baton of director Lok Kim. The highlight of the program will be a performance by guest artist Dr. Brian Viliunas of the Concerto for Clarinet by Big Band legend and “King of the Clarinet,” Artie Shaw. Shaw’s concerto is a jazzy exhibition of clarinet virtuosity! Brian Viliunas is an Associate Professor of Music at Samford University, teaching clarinet and conducting all orchestral activities. He was a guest artist and clinician in January at Chattanooga’s River City Clarinet Winter Festival, enchanting all with his warm personality and spectacular musicianship.
