Dolce Suono Ensemble

Led by flutist and Artistic Director Mimi Stillman, the Dolce Suono Ensemble performs an intriguing array of chamber works by important American composers in this concert. The repertoire illustrates why The New York Times calls Stillman “not only a consummate and charismatic performer, but also a scholar. Her programs tend to activate ear, heart—and brain.” You’ll hear a Mozart flute quartet alongside Irving Fine’s solo piano work Homage à Mozart, and Stillman’s arrangements of two songs Fine wrote for a production of Federico Garcia Lorca’s Doñna Rosita, the Spinster. A trio by Ned Rorem and Zhou Tian’s Irises, round out the program, which also features the world premiere of David Serkin Ludwig’s “Woman in Gold” for flute and string quartet, co-commissioned by the Library’s Verna and Irving Fine Endowment.
