Join us for our 2024-2025 Faculty Concert Series with a performance from Marvento Duo, featuring piano faculty Elizabeth Basconi with Weronika Balewski, flute!
Marvento Duo celebrates music by women composers both past and present, and considers their legacies today. Their program features Nadia Boulanger's "Three Pieces", Reena Esmail's ode to her grandparents in "Jhula Jhule," Emily Doolittle's experience of the natural world in "Palouse Songbook", and more. Boulanger taught dozens of well-known composers, including Aaron Copland, whose Duo for Flute and Piano became part of the “American sound.” They also bring to life a seldom-played Suite by Clemence de Grandval, who played a major role in supporting new music in late 19th century Paris.
Hear how these composers are creating and influencing current generations of musicians, and leave inspired by how they depict their world!
The concert will be in the Concert Hall, up the stairs under the large purple awning, at 160 Lexington Street, Belmont, MA 02478 at 3:00. Parking is available in front of the building or in the lot on the corner of Lexington and Beech Street.
These concerts are open to anyone who would like to come. There is a suggested donation of $20 per family to attend that can be made online or at the door.
