Michael Webster is a clarinetist, conductor, composer/arranger, professor of music at Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music, and former principal basset hornist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He calls his Carmen Rhapsody—which is based on themes from Georges Bizet’s opera, Carmen—“a virtuosic potpourri.” You’ll get no argument here!
