Commissioned by the “King of Swing” and legendary jazz clarinettist Benny Goodman, the work is infused with the spirit of Brazilian folk music that Copland heard while travelling in Latin America when writing the piece. The internationally acclaimed UK clarinet soloist Julian Bliss joins Camerata for this inspired work.
