Music review: Intimacy, passion mark Matinee Musicale’s season opener by Minnesota Orchestra performers

Matinee Musicale began its 111th recital season Tuesday night at Pilgrim Congregational United Church of Christ with a full moon, a string quartet and a clarinet. Like the final full moon of summer, this was no ordinary gathering. From the Minnesota Orchestra, Sarah Kwak and Gina DiBello lead the first and second violin sections, respectively, Thomas Turner is principal violist; Anthony Ross is principal cellist. But the clarinetist was none other than Osmo Vänskä, 10th and current music director/conductor of the same Minnesota Orchestra. All in all, it was a night for seat belts and full throttle.

Mark Olson was right in there as an original member of the Jayhawks, a band that helped launch the sound that included the Gear Daddies, Wilco and Drive by Truckers.
