DANCES WITH THE WINDS
Oops! All Flutes!
You know the flute. But what about the piccolo, alto flute, and even the bass flute? All four members of the flute family will take a turn in an ethereal, snowy concerto by Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara, performed by the winner of our 2024 Emerging Soloist Competition.
We’ve paired this piece with an inventive and witty suite by Jacques Ibert and Beethoven’s often-overlooked fourth symphony.
Jacques Ibert — Divertissement
Einojuhani Rautavaara — Flute Concerto “Dances with the Winds”
Ludwig van Beethoven — Symphony No. 4 in B-flat major
RUN TIME: 1 hour, 31 minutes (including intermission)
You’ll See: 4 Different Kinds of Flutes
You’ll Hear: Beethoven’s Most Underrated Symphony
You’ll Feel: Connected to Nature
