JENNIFER KENNARD will present an afternoon of flute music, highlighting some of the major musical milestones through the solo flute repertoire. The journey through time begins with the Renaissance and the music of Marin Marais, moves through the Baroque (when flute was the instrument de rigueur of princes and kings) with a piece by George Friedrich Handel, and continues on to the music of Mozart and the Classical Era. The Twentieth Century was a time of tremendous growth and change; this is reflected in music through the many types of compositions composers were creating. Works by composers as disparate as Claude Debussy and Robert Dick will be explored and performed. The lecture-recital will not only provide diverse and interesting music that presents a brief history of musical time, but it will also provide a glimpse into the myriad sounds and traditions of the flute across history. While focusing on performance, the recital will look at how the role of the flute has changed throughout musical history and how improved technology and mechanisms have consistently opened up what is possible in flute playing.   ----------------- Madeline Cieslak Director ST.
