A supporting player gets a star turn as Chiarina celebrates the clarinet
Pardon my language, but Oscars schmoscars. On Sunday evening, a full house at St. Mark's Episcopal Church on Capitol Hill was perfectly content to decline the viewing parties in favor of 'A Clarinet Celebration,' a fastidiously lovely three-piece affair thrown by the trusty programmers of the Chiarina Chamber Players. Often typecast into supporting roles, the clarinet took the spotlight for this program assembling Béla Bartók's 'Contrasts,' Johannes Brahms's 'Clarinet Trio in A minor, Op. 114,' and a centerpiece world premiere (and Chiarina commission) from composer Reinaldo Moya.

Hungary thanks Australia for returning music scores and documents
OSZK director Dávid Rózsa said the collection contains works exclusively by Hungarian composers including Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály and Hungarian music education publications. Máté Vincze, the deputy state secretary in charge of public collections and cultural development, said Hungary has thanked Australia for its help 'in healing the wound that the 20th century caused to us.' Vincze addressed the presentation of a collection of 248 titles that include documents, scores and notes of Hungarian folk music and choral works and has been provided to OSZK by the National Library of Australia (NLA). 'In the 20th century, many things had to be taken abroad from Hungary to rescue them. This is why it is an outstanding development that these invaluable documents, scores and notes that were no longer in Hungary are returning to our country,' he said. OSZK director Dávid Rózsa said the collection contains works exclusively by Hungarian composers including Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály and Hungarian music education publications. 'More than one-third of the items were never to be found in OSZK's collection before,' he said.
