Carleton College is pleased to present a special performance by the international musical duo, ‘2,’ on Friday, Sept. 27 at 8 p.m. in the Concert Hall. Comprised of classical musicians Peter H. Bloom (flute) and Mary Jane Rupert (piano and harp), ‘2’ has been praised world-wide for their “beautiful phrasing, consummate duet passages, and superb technical facility.” This performance is free and open to the public.
The duo’s Northfield program, Bach to the Future, will include Sonata in A Major BWV 1032 by J.S. Bach, Duo for Flute and Piano (1971) by Aaron Copland, Fantaisie Opus 124 by Camille Saint-Saëns, and Butterfly Effects by American composer Elizabeth Vercoe, hailed by The Washington Post as “one of the most inventive composers working in America today.” Butterfly Effects was written for “2” and received its world premiere during their 2009 tour of Thailand. The piece showcases the entire flute family (concert flute, alto flute, bass flute, and piccolo for one player) with concert harp.
