Saariaho’s rapt attention to every sound is remembered and explored in this concert for flute, cello and piano. Her music invites the listener to hear the pieces that surround it — Prokofiev’s Flute Sonata and miniatures by two California composers — from various different angles. Tomàs Piere Serrate’s evocative Five Haiku completes the program.
Program includes:
Kaija Saariaho - Cendres, Papillons, Oi Kuu, Mirrors
Kay Rhie - Three Piano Miniatures (Pathways Mentor)
Sergei Prokofiev - Flute Sonata in D Major, Op. 94
Monica Chew - New Work TBA WORLD PREMIERE
Tomàs Piere Serrate- Five Haiku (2022 Composition Contest Winner)
