New decade, more Flauto d'Amore...

The Flauto d’Amore Project starts 2020 with some really exciting events:

First: we will be presenting a lecture recital at the Flute New Music Consortium festival on January 18 at Stony Brook University. Alongside the lecture, we will perform a second version of our “Electric Follia”, this time based off a late 17th century Italian Follia for voice and strings. The Festival is in honor of gal extraordinaire Valerie Coleman, and I will join my colleagues to celebrate her at the evening gala playing “Ruby Street Nola”.

On February 8th we’ll present Rearview Mirror Vol. II: Works with Strings at Greenwich House in Manhattan. This monumental program will feature five world premieres of pieces for and with flauto d’amore by Erin Rogers, Nirmali Fenn, Clint Needham, Howie Kenty and James-David Stoker Johnsen-Young, and will feature my colleagues Suliman Tekalli, Meagan Turner, Clare Monfredo and Keenan Zach.

Tickets on Eventbrite.

In April, I will be in residence at University of North Texas for a collaboration with composer Marco Buongiorno Nardelli and recorder virtuoso Antonio Carrilho. I will premiere Marco’s new pieces for flauto d’amore and electronics, and for flauto d’amore and recorder, as well as teach a masterclass to the flute studio.
