Hayes Street Studio presents a dynamic recital featuring co-directors flautist Rosie Gallagher and pianist Lee Dionne. The duo explores a diverse program of music spanning from Bach’s church’s in Leipzig to tall ships on the Atlantic, traveling around the world and through time, exploring the flute as an instrument with the ability to dance, sing, yearn and tell stories. The program begins with a fresh imagining of the iconic J.S Bach Flute Partita, arranged for flute and percussion. The program will then feature virtuosic work Fantasie by Elizabeth Younan followed by the dramatically stirring work Share by Belinda Reynolds. This provides the perfect set up to the final work on the program: Valerie Coleman’s deep and dramatic tone poem for flute and piano depicting the Middle Passage in which Africans were trafficked across the Atlantic by tall ships to be sold into slavery.
