July 10: Glenn Dickson Solo Clarinet @Instrumental Yoga

Renowned clarinetist Glenn Dickson (of Naftule’s Dream and Shirim Klezmer Orchestra) will be performing his "Dreams & Meditations" a solo show of dreamscapes performed on clarinet with electronics at Instrumental Yoga, 3611 Washington St, Jamaica Plain, MA 02130, Tickets are $20 and available at https://www.instrumentalyoga.com/event-details/dreams-meditations0

Meditative and cathartic, pensive and emotional, Glenn Dickson expands the warm sounds of the clarinet with live digital processing to create music that ranges from intimate whispers to lush symphonic layering, creating a sensual experience which takes you on an extraordinary sound-mind journey!

Glenn has taken the processing techniques of Robert Fripp and Brian Eno and applied them to the clarinet, creating an ethereal and haunting atmosphere with the voice-like humanity of the clarinet sound. His compositions and improvisations draw on a career of playing klezmer, classical, Greek, jazz and rock in different settings to create shimmering other-worldly harmonies and speech-like inflections in the melodies which are meditative and dreamy while keeping compositional interest.

Glenn, as leader of Naftule's Dream and Shirim Klezmer Orchestra, has toured North America and Europe, at venues as diverse as the Berlin Jazz Festival and the Philly Pops, with recordings on Tsadik, Rykodisc, Newport Classics & Northeastern. He has collaborated with Maurice Sendak (Pincus & the Pig) and his music has been used by Woody Allen in “Deconstructing Harry.” He has won a Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist Grant for music composition.
