Kolbeck serves as professor of woodwinds at Wayne State.
Repertoire challenges technical expertise with the flashy “Kosak” by Giuseppe Ricotta and the slow, lyrical “Theme for Clarinet” by Michele Mangani. The impressive “Sanctuary at 3 AM” by Rick Sowash is a gorgeous, yet melancholy, salute to safe refuge while “Golden Hour” by Cait Nishimura expresses the dancing colors of an imminent sunset. “Sholem-alekhem, rov Feidman!” by Béla Kovács honors Giora Feidman, a master performer of klezmer music, and the tradition of klezmer clarinet.
