TSO principal flute Alexander Lipay solos on Ibert’s flute concerto on a concert of impressionistic journeys from France to Latin America.
Debussy’s charming Suite bergamasque is most well-known for its popular third movement, “Clair de lune,” while Jacques Ibert’s effervescent concerto is a supremely demanding showpiece of the flute concerto repertoire, coaxing brilliant sounds and melodies from the soloist and orchestra.
Argentinian conductor, Fernanda Lastra, takes us on a whirlwind Latin-American journey, to Brazil (Clarice Assad), Argentina (Piazzolla), and the Mexican island of Janitzio (Revueltas). Hold on tight! Individual event tickets go on sale August 1, 2025. This concert is available as part of a Masterworks Series (all times) or Create Your Own (Saturday 2:00) Subscription. This concert will be preceded by Concert Comments, a pre-concert talk, beginning one hour before each performance. “Clair de lune” has appeared in the soundtracks of many films, notably The Right Stuff, Ocean’s Eleven, Frankie and Johnny, and The Two Popes. Clarice Assad comes from a musical family, which includes her father Sergio, her uncle Odair—both guitarists—and her aunt, singer-songwriter Badi. Clarice won a 2009 Latin Grammy and a 2022 Grammy nomination.Plan Your Visit
