Grammy-nominated clarinetist Anat Cohen — named Clarinetist of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association each year since 2007 — returns to Dayton for a concert with the Sinclair Jazz Ensemble at 7 p.m., Friday, March 13 at Sinclair’s Blair Hall Theatre, in Building 2 of its downtown campus.

A native of Tel Aviv, Cohen last performed in Dayton in 2018 at the University of Dayton with her New York-based tentet (ensemble with 10 musicians). Described by The New York Times as a “master,” Cohen has also been named the top clarinetist by readers and critics in DownBeat magazine polls for several years. Her Sinclair program is free.
