French Music for Flute, Saxophone and Piano
Join the Vista Trio Lee for a delightful program of French music highlighting the unusual color combinations of flute, saxophone and piano. Bookended with the opening floating, lyrical sounds of Charles Koechlin’s standard Epitaphe de Jean Harlow, and contrasting with the wild, rough and comical sounds of Max Dubois’ Les Tréteaux the programs explores the extremes, as well as the versatility of the combination as a trio. In between, the Vista Trio showcases Guy LaCour’s Entrelacs for flute and saxophone, and their own version of the ensemble in an arrangement of Gabriel Pierné’s Sonata da Camera, originally for flute, cello and piano, but showcasing beautiful opportunities for blend and color between the two woodwind instruments and the piano.
