Toronto Symphony associate clarinet Yao Guang Zhai gets to show off his way with a phrase in Camille Saint-Saëns’ Op. 167 Sonata for Clarinet and Piano. Laplante should provide a clear-headed solo Sonata by Joseph Haydn, while a little ensemble that includes Leslie Newman (flute), Sarah Jeffrey (TSO principal oboe), Nadina Mackie Jackson (bassoon) and Gabriel Radford (TSO French horn) are playing a Quintet for Piano and Winds by Mozart and the Woodwind Quintet No. 1 by Jean Françaix.
