Dances
With Winds
Wednesday, March 19, 2025 at 7:30pm
The Peggy Corkum Music Room
6181 Lady Hammond Road, Halifax
Music for winds and piano with an emphasis on movement and dance! From a charming work by Saint-Saëns, through a mediation on the work of Langston Hughes (with visits to Harlem jazz clubs and Paris cabarets) to the irresistible action of Connesson's ode to techno. Add to this some Messiaen birdsong and a multimedia piece for clarinet and video, and there will be plenty of action.
Jack Chen, flute; Eileen Walsh, clarinet; Simon Docking, piano
