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! 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, generously sponsored by Oracle Eye Physicians & Surgeons. “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
