An American Ideal in Paris
There are few composers more influential and highly criticized than Claude Debussy. Famed for his arrogance and pride, Debussy rebeled from traditional forms of music and obliterated harmonic structure: all in the pursuit of beauty. His famed trio sonata for flute, harp, and viola created one of the most iconic chamber ensembles to date. Like many Parisian composers of his time, he is heavily influenced and inspired by American Jazz and Blues. This concert is a bit of a mirror looking at a mirror, we celebrate the sensibilities of the French that were inspired by the Americans.

Exploring the Romantic Soul: A musical journey from Enlightenment to American Romanticism
Emerging from the Enlightenment, the Romantic movement of the 19th century embarked on a profound intellectual exploration, delving into the human quest for meaning as experienced by the individual. We celebrate the human intuition and intellectual awakening that marked the onset of Romanticism, showcased through Beethoven's Cello Sonata No. 4 in C Major, alongside the vividly imaginative and emotionally charged music of Dvorak's Dumky Trio. Completing our program is a manifestation of American Romanticism in Amy Beach's evocative "Romance for Violin."

The Flute King: The Court of Frederick the Great
Widely accepted as one of the most influential European monarchs of the 18th century, Frederick the Great not only expanded Prussia’s borders, strengthened the economy, and ruled as an Enlightened monarch; meaning he was the first servant of the State, but he was also a major patron of the arts and philosophy. Within his court of handsome gentlemen, a blend of soldiers, artists, and writers, Frederick the Great was able to explore one of his greatest passions: flute playing. Employing CPE Bach as his court composer, inviting JS Bach to court for a visit, and even writing his own flute sonatas to show off his dexterous flute playing: Frederick the Great and his court remain a source of beauty, philosophy, and drama.
