Elaine will be joined by fellow Hoff-Barthelson faculty members Tomoko Uchino, piano and Joseph Piscitelli, flute. 

Included on the program are Carl Krüger’s Suite in 3 Sätzen; Yuko Uebayashi’s Au-delà du Temps pour deux flûtes et piano; Carl Reinecke’s Ballade, Op. 288; and Deviations on The Carnival of Venice, Mike Mower’s new set of 10 variations in different styles – jazz, waltz, rock, salsa, swing – on the theme. 

About the Program: 

The flute repertoire is curiously deprived of Romantic flute music. Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Liszt, Berlioz, Wagner, Verdi, Dvorak – not one of these composers wrote works for the flute. 

Elaine’s recital focuses on works from and written in the style of the Romantic period. 3 Sätzen, an out-of-print work for flute and piano by Carl Krüger, a gifted composer from a north German family of professional musicians, has been reprinted by the publisher for this performance, said a release. 

Donna Elaine is principal flute in the New Choral Society Orchestra and teaches throughout the New York area.

Admission to the recital is $18, $15 for seniors (65-plus) and free to HBMS students and students 18 years of age and younger. 

Tickets can be ordered by calling (914) 723-1169 or emailing hb@hbms.org and at the door.
