French music for flute and piano in person or livestream
WINTER HARBOR — Join Winter Harbor Music Festival Artistic Director and
founder, Deirdre McArdle and Executive Director Deiran Manning for an
evening of music for flute and piano at 7 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 4 at
Hammond Hall. The program will feature works by Poulenc, Dutilleux and
Bourdin. In honor of Black History Month a little known Sonata by Joseph
Bologne, Chevalier de St. George will be performed. Trained in Paris
during the French Revolution, Joseph Bologne is hailed today as the
first Classical composer of African descent. In addition to being a
decorated military officer, Bologne’s works were very popular in his
lifetime and his operas were performed at established venues such as the
Opera Garnier in Paris.
