After two highly successful concerts that wowed San Juan Community Theatre audiences, clarinetist Sue Collado has again gathered a diverse group of island musicians for a one-of-a-kind classical concert on Saturday, March 15 at 7:30 p.m.

Since moving to the island from California three years ago, Collado (former Principal Clarinetist of the La Jolla Symphony) set out to uncover the many island musical talents she’d heard so much about. For this edition of Melodious Notes Over the Harbor, she is happy to collaborate with pianists Dorothy Baker, Carol Hooper, and Sonja Zarek; flutist Pam Stewart; bassoonist Pat Nelson and cellist Sasha von Dassow.

Collado’s goal has been to create a “not your typical” chamber concert that presents a variety of what she calls “unique bites of great music.” The program this time around expands the horizons to include works by Haydn, Mendelssohn, Chabrier, Piazzola, Tchaikovsky and Dutilleaux. Plus, they’ll showcase island composer Richard Hieronymus’s piece, “The Wounded Hawk” from the American Folk Ballet, Moon of the Falling Leaves.

“It’s always great to work with the musicians, get to know them, and make the pieces come alive for the audiences,” said Collado.
