Event details
The concert begins with lavish music of the Romantic Era, a Trio written in 1857 by Louise Farrenc, the only female professor at the Paris Conservatory at that time. Trois Aquarelles by French composer and flutist Philip Gaubert is a sumptuous musical work from 1926 that begins with the piano emulating colorful sounds of rippling water and leads into the flowing musical lines of the flute and cello intertwined. The program concludes with the lively and toe-tapping contemporary jazz sounds of the 1998 composition Trio for Flute, Clarinet, and Piano by Nikolai Kapustin.
Admission at the door is $10 per person, with a $20 family maximum. Concerts are free to Hochstein students/families, faculty, and staff. The concert lasts about an hour, and is followed by a “meet the artists” reception.
