Welcoming guest jazz pianist Bradley Williams, who has created a world premiere for Orion, the program includes two of D’Rivera’s works. “Danzón” (2002), which D’Rivera arranged for clarinet, cello and piano, and “Afro” (2003), arranged for clarinet, cello and piano by Brazilian composer and cellist Gustave Tavares; the famous “Tico Tico,” composed by Zequinha de Abreu and arranged by D'Rivera for clarinet, violin and piano; and Williams' world premiere "Tango and Waltz" for violin, clarinet, cello and piano. The program returns to pure classical mastery with Dvorák’s acclaimed Piano Trio No. 4, “Dumky."
