We believe the sound of the flute can bring a fresh interpretation to pieces composed for another instrument. Our “Translations” program explored different possible translations: text to melody, movement to sound, violin to flute, and birdsong to sonata. “Translations” featured Debussy’s Sonata for Violin and Piano transcribed for flute and piano. While the violin brings a bold, intense color to Debussy’s work, the flute highlights the shimmery passagework with ethereal brilliance.
