Embark on a vibrant and imaginative musical adventure with Emily Olson (flute), Lorrie Gunn (violin/viola), and Maurice Draughn (harp). This trio brings stories to life through sound—inviting you to wander through poetic landscapes, celebrate cultural rebirth, and feel the full sweep of human expression. The journey begins with Jacques Ibert’s Interludes, a contemplative suite that sets the tone with shimmering introspection. Maurice Draughn’s own Harlem Suite offers a solo harp homage to the Harlem Renaissance—its rhythms and textures echoing the vibrancy of a pivotal cultural era. Mel Bonis’ Scènes de la forêt invites listeners into the heart of the forest, where each movement evokes the mystery and vitality of woodland life. The program culminates with Miguel del Águila’s Submerged, a rhythmically charged and emotionally immersive work that plunges into the ocean’s depths. Together, these and additional pieces form a concert experience that is at once intimate, imaginative, and powerfully expressive.
