SUMMARY:Lunchtime Concert: Bridget Douglas and Michael Tsalka - flute and piano
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime recital of music for flute and piano\, featuring works that span the Baroque to the contemporary. The program opens with J.S. Bach’s masterful Flute Sonata in B minor\, a cornerstone of the flute repertoire. Internationally renowned visiting pianist\, Michael Tsalka\, showcases two solo works for piano: Pauline Viardot-Garcia’s charming Sérénade and Gavotte\, followed by the World Premiere of Two Poems\, One Meditation by British composer Prof. Nicholas Smith. The recital concludes with Schubert’s virtuosic and deeply expressive Introduction and Variations on “Trockne Blumen”\, a dramatic tour de force for both flute and piano.\nPhoto credits:\nJames Roberts and Beefcroft \nMichael Tsalka is currently serving as a Professor and a Doctoral Supervisor at the School of Music\, Chinese University of Hong Kong\, Shenzhen.
