Musicians from the SFA School of Music will present “Mozart Flute Quartets” at 7:30 pm. Tuesday, March 20, in Cole Concert Hall. Pictured, from left, are Associate Professor Christina Guenther; Melissa Nabb, instructor for the SFA Music Preparatory Division; Evgeni Raychev, adjunct faculty; and Associate Professor Jennifer Dalmas.
Joining Guenther will be violinist Jennifer Dalmas, SFA associate professor of violin; violist Melissa Nabb, instructor for the SFA Music Preparatory Division; and cellist Evgeni Raychev, SFA adjunct faculty.
“The instrumentation for these pieces is that of a string quartet, with the flute in place of the first violin. The ensemble was particularly popular in the middle of the second half of the 18th century and then declined in popularity in favor of the string quartet,” Guenther explained. “Mozart’s brilliant Classical writing comes through in each of these pieces.”
The recital is a part of the SFA School of Music’s Cole Performing Arts Series. Cole Concert Hall is located in the Wright Music Building, 2210 Alumni Drive.
Tickets are $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and $2 for students. For tickets or more information, please go to www.finearts.sfasu.edu or call (936) 468-6407 or (888) 240-ARTS.
