Music from Copland House salutes one of America's foremost flutists, Paul Lustig Dunkel, who left a major legacy at Copland House, and beyond.
This program features the work of three composers who symbolized Paul's devotion to the music of our time. He was directly involved with a group of other young flutists who banded together in the 1960s to commission Aaron Copland's now-classic Duo for Flute and Piano. Almost a half-century later, he joined with Copland House to commission and premiere Pierre Jalbert's 'Crossings'. Finally, William Albright's 'Rustles of Spring'; represents exactly the kind of formidable artistic intellect he loved.
