Info for Brush Strokes: New Works for Woodwind Trio



BRUSH STROKES from Athenia Trio features works for flute, oboe, and bassoon. The program harnesses the impressive versatility of the trio, with six pieces by six different composers, including two commissioned specially for the ensemble: Alyssa Morris’s Brush Strokes, and Robbie McCarthy's The Blind Men and the Elephant.

Morris’s piece is a multimedia work of sorts, reimagining much-loved paintings by artists like Seurat, Monet, and Van Gogh; the three instruments of the Athenia Trio become the “brushes”; McCarthy's piece is a six-movement work with spoken word based on the parable of the blind men and the elephant. Trio de la fiesta mayor, composed by Eduardo Grau in 1953, recalls the festival music heard in Spanish villages. The music is grounded in Latin-American tradition. From one piece to the next, listeners will be surprised and delighted by what they hear on BRUSH STROKES.
