'Romantic Madness' with Veronika String Quartet (April 29, 2012)
Guest cellist for the award winning Veronika String Quartet's Season Finale - Romantic Madness. Featuring works by Joaquin Turina, Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms. For the grand finale, Clayton and the VSQ quartet (violinists Veronika Afanassieva and Karine Garibova and violist Ekaterina Dobrotvorskaia) were joined by violist Virginia Barron and cellist Katharine Knight for a Brahms sextet.
Clayton’s performance with the VSQ resulted in The Pueblo Chieftain proclaiming “… a special performance of fine chamber music." The Schumann piece was noted as the reviewer's favorite with its "...changing tempi, exciting intervals and vibrant sounds." However, the grand finale garnered much enthusiasm and was described as “…a real treat (for the audience) with a beautiful performance of this highly emotional work. It was full of dreamy thematic variations, blissful moments, sadness, anger and frustration.”
