apple orange pair in the news

A week ago, hornist Emily Boyer and I gave the opening concert for our second season playing together as a duo. We had a fabulous night of fun October 15, playing French music, displaying a slideshow of our favorite French artwork and photographs, and wearing red feathered boas for our crowning touch, a Piazzolla tango.

All that said, we were also really excited to have a newspaper article about our duo circulating a few days before our concert. Read about apple orange pair in the New Haven Register!

Infamous Composers! May 28

We all know Mozart performed his share of both musical and non-musical highjinks (and that laugh in Amadeus!). But what about Carlo Gesualdo, whose eerily dissonant Renaissance madrigals only scratch the surface of his highly dysfunctional life? Or what about harpist/composers? (Aren’t all harpists angels?)

Come hear musical selections from Mozart, Gesualdo, 19th century harpist Robert Nicolas-Charles Bochsa, and other composers who have earned a place in music history equally for their notorious lives as for their wonderful music.

Emily Boyer, horn, and Colleen Potter Thorburn, harp

7:30 pm, May 28 at Christ Presbyterian Church – 135 Whitney Ave. in New Haven.
