Carina Canonico
“The clarinet’s sound can be luscious or bright but I prefer its dark chocolate
tones the best,” says Orchestra Kingston’s Guest Soloist, Carina Canonico. She
explains how much she looks forward to performing Mozart’s masterpiece for
her chosen instrument, live and onstage at The Spire. “Mozart was right,” she
says about the clarinet, “when he said, ‘nobody with a heart could resist it.”
Principal Clarinetist with The Kingston Symphony, Canonico is also music
director, choir master and pianist at St. Mark’s as well as teacher of piano and
clarinet in her own Kingston studio. Ms Canonico has generously offered a free
Workshop after her concert to all clarinet students who bring their instruments
to the concert. “This is a great concert to show off what the instrument can do.
So, we’re inviting clarinet students at all levels in for free, followed by our free
workshop to get together and learn more about it.”
“And,” Canonico points out, “it’s not just about symphonic music. Whether it’s
jazz, funk, klezmer, or classical, the clarinet is very versatile … and that’s the key
to finding one’s style. Trying out all these styles keeps my music fresh.”
Originally from Courtice, east of Toronto, Canonico joined the KSO in 2018 and
performed this Mozart Concerto with them during a recent online concert.
“If you know music,” remarks John Palmer, Orchestra Kingston’s music director/
conductor, “you can never get enough of this Concerto and this will be
Kingston’s first chance this year to hear and watch Ms Canonico perform it live.”
It is in live performance that audiences may hear, see and feel the impact of this
music.
Composer, musician, and Orchestra Kingston’s president, Daniel McConnachie,
agrees. “This Concerto is the jewel in every clarinetist’s crown. It’s very moving,”
he laughs, “because whether a musician or audience member, you will find it
impossible not to move your body while it’s being performed. Our soloist
succeeds in making this difficult piece look easy.”
“Well,” comments Canonico, “it’s all about preparation. I can feel how the
orchestra grows and progresses in rehearsals in order to play convincingly in
concert. We really come to appreciate each other. Music brings people together
in an emotional experience. And then, in concert … being in the middle of it with
musicians all around,” Canonico pauses, “I think it is just an incomparable
experience.”
Orchestra Kingston’s May 8 concert also includes two evocative movements
from Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite, moving from the melancholy of “The Death of
Aase” to the exciting fireworks of “Hall of the Mountain King”. The jubilant first
movement of the Brahms Serenade No.1 will follow Intermission. Brahms is a
musical treat of which John Palmer remarks, “It gets the adrenalin working. But,
that’s Brahms.” The concert finale features Schubert’s B minor (The Unfinished)
Symphony, among the first to help bridge classical and romantic music: “You
feel it as much as you hear it,” Palmer concludes.
