About This Piece
Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto in A Major, K. 622 is one of the composer’s final masterpieces, beloved for its lyric beauty, graceful architecture, and deeply expressive writing for the solo instrument. In this live recording from the 2025-2026 season, CSO Principal Clarinet, Charlie Messersmith, brings the concerto’s singing lines and playful brilliance to life with remarkable clarity and warmth.
From the buoyant opening movement to the tender Adagio and spirited finale, the performance captures the clarinet’s full emotional range: intimate, joyful, and quietly radiant. It is a chance to revisit a memorable Charleston Symphony moment and experience one of Mozart’s most enduring works through Charlie’s expressive artistry.
