The Mockingbird Ensemble, composed of renowned musicians Danilo Mezzadri (flute), Susan Riggiero (soprano), and Brian Murphy (piano), will bring us the warmth of Mississippi to Michigan with a wonderful and varied program of music. The offerings span the time from 1740 with a work by Handel, “Sweet Bird”, a duet between a flute (the bird) and a soprano, to 2016 with a sonata in two movements by Mexican composer Samuel Zyman. The program also showcases varied musical styles including Samuel Barger’s Knoxville Summer of 1915 with music set to excerpts from a prose poem by James Agee to Debussy’s impressionistic piece, Reflets dans l’eau from Images, Book 1 (1905). Topping off an exotic evening is a work from the forests of the Amazon, Melodia Sentimental, by Heitor Villa-Lobos. This evening promises to be a worldwide adventure in music.
