Classics with the Chicago Licorice Sticks

Spring will go into full bloom after the Chicago Licorice Sticks serenade the flowers with a concert that includes music from Dvorak, Gershwin, and Rossini. Program highlights feature twenty-five clarinets performing transcriptions of works from the classical repertoire, including An American in Paris and Italian in Algiers. For more information, friend us on Facebook at “Lil’ Ricki and the Licorice Sticks” or visit our website at http://www.chicagolicoricesticks.com. The Licorice Sticks (formed in 1995) is a rather unique ensemble, encompassing many instruments from the clarinet family. We are focused on delivering dynamic performances to a growing audience through a fusion of chamber music and vaudeville. Under the baton of Richard “Lil’ Ricki” Kissinger, our performances draw from all genres of music and frequently include dance, vocals, and other aesthetics. It is our because of our immense music library, constant variation, individual talent, and collaboration with various artists, that we are able to leave a lasting impression in the hearts and minds of all who attend.
