Reflections in Music, a nonprofit the brings classical music to new audiences of all ages and backgrounds, will return to The Church in Sag Harbor on Saturday evening at 7.
Led by Bruce Wolosoff, its artistic director, Reflections in Music will present “Unsilenced Voices,” a program of chamber music by composers who created works of “courage and humanity in the face of oppression.” The program features music by Shostakovich, Poulenc, Kabalevsky, Bartók, and Tigran Mansurian, as well as the world premiere of a new work by Mr. Wolosoff. He will be joined by Narek Arutyunian on clarinet, Deborah Buck on violin, and Raman Ramakrishnan on cello.
Mr. Wolosoff, a Shelter Island resident, is a composer and pianist known for his integration of classical, jazz, blues, and contemporary influences. He often composes in response to visual art, working with leading artists across disciplines. A frequent collaborator was the late choreographer Ann Reinking, for whom he composed “The White City,” which was named the best dance of 2011 by The Chicago Sun-Times, and “A Light in the Dark,” a ballet inspired by Helen Keller and Ann Sullivan.
His newest album, “Blue Mantra,” features music for the clarinet performed by Mr. Arutyunian, including “Matisse Fantasies,” “Blues for the New Millennium,” and “Blue Mantra,” which was inspired by a painting by Margaret Garrett, his wife.
As a soloist with orchestra, Mr. Arutyunian has performed with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s at Alice Tully Hall, the Boston Pops, the Edmonton Symphony in Canada, Oregon’s Newport Symphony, and New York’s Excelsior Symphony Orchestra. International appearances include Prague Radio Symphony, the Kaliningrad Philharmonic, the Moscow Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra, and the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra.

She was the concertmaster of the Brooklyn Philharmonic from 2008 to 2013, and at present holds the position with Orchestra Lumos in Stamford, Conn. Her recent recital collaborations include performances at Bargemusic in Brooklyn and the Museum of Arts and Design in Manhattan.
