Presented in collaboration with Delmar Gallery, Trinity Grammar
School, the enchanting combination of flute and harp unites two of
Australia's vibrant young soloists, Jonathan Henderson and Emily
Granger, in a recital celebrating the rich heritage of Spain’s
national dances and folk music. Redolent with Spanish motifs, two
robust miniatures by Jacques Ibert and Alphonse Hasselmans beautifully
evoke the flamenco guitar. Paris-dwelling composers Maurice Ravel and
Emmanuel Chabrier yield elegant interpretations of the Habañera,
owing to their long-standing admiration of Spanish culture from
neighbouring France. A cornerstone of the Spanish Baroque, Les Folies
d'Espagne of Marin Marais offers a suite of variations adapted for
solo flute. At the heart of this recital sits a deeply evocative
rêverie – Manuel De Falla’s melancholic Nocturno, and the widely
popular Seven Spanish Folksongs, a cycle in strikingly diverse
regional styles imbued with Hispanic flair. François Borne's Fantasie
Brillante on Themes from Bizet’s Carmen spins the flute in virtuosic
threads around a charming opera melody potpourris, not without the
infamous Habañera, Chanson Bohème and beloved Toreador. This concert
is approximately 60 minutes in duration, no interval with a reception
to follow.
