Debussy’s Trio: Impressionism and Beyond
Concert 1: Saturday, October 18, 8 PM and Sunday, October 19, 3 PM.
Christ Lutheran Church, Aptos
Music By Debussy, Takemitsu, Barnes, Arnest, and Schocker
- Lars Johannesson, artistic director and flute
- Susan C. Brown, viola
- Jennifer Cass, harp
Our journey starts at the very heart of refined Parisian impressionism and ends in the internationally diverse streets of Toronto.
Combining elements of Japanese and Western musical traditions, Takemitsu’s music resonates with composers like Debussy and John Cage, who themselves were influenced by musical and philosophical concepts of Asian culture.
Debussy’s work written for flute, viola, and harp created (quite literally) a "new" ensemble born in and of the 20th century! If you have never heard the subtle and hauntingly beautiful qualities of Debussy’s Trio, it is a musical experience you will cherish forever!
