Sergio Pallottelli captivates and dazzles audiences world-wide. As a soloist and avid chamber musician, his performances take him to halls all over the world, from Europe to Australia, from the United States to South America. Constantly in search of a new composition or a new piece to adapt for the flute, he offers elegant and passionate programming, always communicating with his audiences in the most charismatic way, be it in major orchestra halls or chamber settings alike. Sergio's virtuosic and poetic style of playing has a very human approach to it and is always at the service of music, his sound being alive and multicolored, his phrasing always elegant yet daring. His interest in a wide variety of styles has allowed him to collaborate with composers worldwide, many pieces having been written for him.

For this concert Sergio teams up with composer and pianist extraordinaire, John Orfe. Major works will include Franz Schubert's Fantasy in C Major and the Sonata (2004) by jazz composer Nikolai Kapustin. Join us as we begin our tenth season with a concert of music for flute and piano.
