Virtual OSM: Interview with Principal Clarinetist Gary Bovyer
To begin our 2021 spotlight series, we're very excited to feature OSM’s Principal Clarinet, Gary Bovyer, in conversation with Music Director Roger Kalia. Gary will be performing Copland’s Clarinet Concerto with the orchestra in an upcoming season. In his conversation with Roger, he'll touch upon a number of topics including his musical background, his experience as an orchestral and studio musician, and his close relationship with the Copland Clarinet Concerto. Gary and Roger will be live in the chat to answer your questions.
