Grand Harmonie: Mendelssohn Symphony no. 3
Following a sold-out New York performance of Mozart, Weber, and Schubert, Grand Harmonie presents its second orchestral program under the baton of Adam Boyles. Rossini's overture to "La Cenerentola" (Cinderella) gives a sneak peak at our opera project with Boston Opera Collaborative this summer, Weber's clarinet concerto features master musician and instrument builder Thomas Carroll, and Mendelssohn's Symphony no. 3 ("Scottish") brings the full orchestra together with the historically appropriate sounds of English slide trumpets, natural horns, and classical winds.
Grand Harmonie, directed by Adam Boyles
Rossini, Overture to La Cenerentola
Weber, Clarinet Concerto no. 1 in F minor with Thomas Carroll, clarinet

With a sound described as "Remarkable" and "Beautifully Warm" (Herald Times), period clarinetist and instrument builder Thomas Carroll performs throughout Europe and North America on historical instruments. He holds degrees from the Oberlin Conservatory, Indiana University, and the Royal Conservatoire of the Hague, studying early clarinet and chalumeau with Eric Hoeprich, and is a current RCM Graduate Scholar supported by a Lucy Ann Jones Award. Internationally, Thomas has performed under such conductors as Richard Egarr, Jos van Immerseel, Christophe Coin, David Stern, and Alessandro Moccia, and has performed at numerous festivals as an orchestral and chamber musician including Utrecht Oude Muziek, Muziekzomer Gelderland, Young Euro Classic, Festival de Saintes, and Musica Antique Brugge. He has been featured as a concerto soloist with Lyra Baroque and Ensemble ad Libitum to critical acclaim. In the United States, Thomas is the principal clarinet of Mercury Baroque in Houston and with Grand Harmonie, frequently flying back to collaborate with other early music specialists on the east coast. An interest in instrument mechanics and acoustics led Thomas to a secondary career as an instrument builder. He studied woodworking and instrument construction with Linda Shortridge, Rob Turner, and Paul Beekhuizen, and shares a workshop with five other young builders in The Hague.
