Concerts in the Wild at Dusk

(in-person)

Carrie Rose—Flutist, Composer

Leaves ring like bells

Water sings and grasshoppers pulse

Flutist takes a breath and joins the play

In these outdoor concerts, solo flute interlaces with videos and sounds from nature. The locations are wild natural settings where the aesthetic is a contemplative hush at dusk. The program includes compositions by Rose and other contemporary and classical composers and a film by Ron Toole. Woven into the program is an exploration of Maryland environmentalist Rachel Carson, author of Silent Spring and The Sense of Wonder.

Program:

Syrinx by Claude Debussy
Interlace by Carrie Rose (video footage of butterflies and bees interlace with solo flute)
Waterweave by Carrie Rose (a duet between flute and water sounds)
A Call to Prayer by Carrie Rose (film footage of leaves, water, insects, and birds blends with solo flute)
Bourrée I and II from Cello Suite No. 3 by Johann Sebastian Bach
This Time by Ron Toole (film) and Carrie Rose (music)
Prelude in C Major from the Well-Tempered Clavier by Johann Sebastian Bach and Ave Maria by Charles Gounod
Suvisoitto (Summersounds) for flute and grasshoppers by Usko Merilainen (grasshopper sounds interplay with solo flute)

These events are supported in part by the Maryland State Arts Council (msac.org)
