Capital City Concerts presents "CANCIONES CALIENTES" - Chamber music inspired by Latin song and dance from Brazil, Argentina, Spain, and France on Sunday afternoon January 24 at 3PM at the Unitarian Church of Montpelier.
Joining Grammy-nominated flutist Karen Kevra will be Washington D.C. pianist Jeffrey Chappell, a beloved regular on the Montpelier series who will be featured in Alberto's Ginastera's charismatic Piano Sonata No. 1. Also performing will be Mary Bonhag, who starred in the soprano role of the opera “A Fleeting Animal” in numerous venues across the state this past September. She isnco-artistic director of Scrag Mountain Music along with her husband Evan Premo, who will also be performing. A double-bassist and composer, Premo is a member of New York City-based chamber music collective, DeCoda with whom he performs in residencies around the world.
"This Latin-inspired music will make for a warm musical respite in the dead of winter. This is wonderfully moody music--intimate, flamboyant, colorful, and tender," said Capital City Concerts Artistic Director and flutist Karen Kevra.
The concert includes two thrilling virtuosic pieces: Manuel de Falla's Suite Populaire Espagnole for bass and piano and François Borne's Fantaisie Brilliante on Themes from Bizet’s Carmen for flute and piano. More intimate works are Xavier Montsalvage's Canciones para Ninos for soprano and piano, Brazillian composer Jayme Ovalle's Azulão for soprano and bass, and Ravel's haunting Pièce en forme de Habanera for flute and piano.
