Fabulous French Fantasia
a delightful hour of Milhaud, Poulenc, Ibert & Saint-Saëns
Craig Combs piano
Eric Maul flute
Mónika Veress clarinet
Jeffrey Thurston violin
Provincetown’s newest chamber music ensemble, Through the Red Door, presents a fabulous program of fantastically French chamber music. Highlights of the program include Poulenc’s Flute Sonata, a masterwork of chamber music for flute dedicated to the memory of the great American patron Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, and a reading of Saint-Saëns’ Tarantella op. 5, a flurry of swirling sound and virtuosity. Juxtaposed against these popular favorites, the musicians explore chamber music’s role in theater through the music of Ibert and Milhaud, both of whom morphed incidental theater music into beautiful chamber music. Join us for this French fantasy hour!
