The Kemyndable Flute Trio, Deborah Proulx, Amy Klein, and Kenneth Korn, are returning with a concert specifically designed for the outdoor performance space at the Albert Wisner Public Library.
The woods and wetlands directly behind the library are home to many birds, and the perimeter of the property is lined with birdhouses. The terraced grounds create an intimate amphitheater making it the perfect setting for a concert celebrating birds and the music of birds. The flute has a particular affinity to emulate bird songs. While the flute can play high and fast, it still is lyrical and melodic. Not surprisingly many composers have written works inspired by birdsong specifically for the Flute. The Kemyndable Trio will be performing some of the most successful works that capture the lyrical and flowing nature of birdsong. The following works will be performed:
- Trio in D for 3 Flutes F.A. Hoffmeister
- The Bird Fancyer’s Delight John Walsh
- Dance of the Hummingbirds Halpner
- The Cuckoo in the Forest
- (From Carnival of the Animals) Saint-Saens
- On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring Frederick Delius
- The Cuckoo and the Nightingale Gustav Mahler
- Birds Herman Beeftink
- Sun Sep 14: Miss Maybell and the Jazz Age Artistes: Join us for an afternoon of vintage hot jazz, blues and ragtime music from 1900-1929. Miss Maybell and the Jazz Age Artistes source their tunes from dusty old 78rpm records and antique sheet music and give new life to songs created over 100 years ago!
