Butterflies, Moons, and Mirrors: A SAARIAHO CELEBRATION (Berkeley)

  • Berkeley Piano Club 2724 Haste Street Berkeley, CA, 94704 United States (map)

Saariaho’s rapt attention to every sound is remembered and explored in this concert for flute, cello and piano. Her music invites the listener to hear the pieces that surround it — Prokofiev’s Flute Sonata and miniatures by two California composers — from various different angles.

Program includes:

Kaija Saariaho - Cendres, Papillons, Oi Kuu, Mirrors

Kay Rhie - Three Piano Miniatures (Pathways Mentor)

Sergei Prokofiev - Flute Sonata in D Major, Op. 94

Monica Chew - New Work TBA WORLD PREMIERE
