One of the most fascinating artists of our times, the multi-faceted Kinan Azmeh has left a lasting impression of his creativity on modern classical music.

Hailed as “intensely soulful” and a “virtuoso” by The New York Times, Winner of the OpusKlassik award in 2019 clarinetist and composer Kinan Azmeh has gained international recognition for what the New Yorker has called “Spellbinding!” for his distinctive voice across diverse musical genres.

He joins the SSO to perform his own Suite for Improviser and Orchestra.

Maestra Cosette Justo Valdes leads the SSO in this colourful musical adventure.

Kinan Azmeh appears by arrangement with Sciolino Artist Management.
