Pied Piperess: Woodwind Wonders of Poulenc and Prokofiev
Hailed by critics for her “hauntingly beautiful performances,” New York based flutist Emi Ferguson will perform a riveting program anchored by the flute sonatas of Francis Poulenc and Sergei Prokofiev. The French charm and fascination with wind idioms which grace the Poulenc provide a stark contrast to the clear and somber quality of the Soviet influenced work of Prokofiev. Emi’s own transcription of Henry T. Burleigh's song cycle Five Songs on Poems by Laurence Hope sets the poetry of British writer Adela Florence Cory in a soulfully invigorating context.
