(fLirTatiOn)

“Vivre Musicale’s (fLirTatiOn) draws inspiration from the ephemeral, playful dalliance, courtship, and dance and juxtaposes it with the more austere, reverent, and enduring quality of its maturer self, love. Beginning with living composer, Micah Levy’s exotic and seductive Roadrunner Laughs at Rattlesnake and weaving its way through Debussy’s picturesque impression, Sonate en trio for flute, viola, and harp, this opening pastiche will take the listener on a sonic journey of distinct and somewhat implicit flirtation. With flute continuing as the primary voice of this whimsical coquetry, the audience will enjoy the amorously playful and solemn duality inherent in Mozart’s Flute Quartet in C that is starkly contrasted with Liebermann’s fiery Trio No. 1 op. 83. In a grand gesture of unity between the two halves of burgeoning love, the flute voices will join together in Doppler’s enchanting Valse di Bravura op. 33 that merely suggests the underlying passion that lay beneath the surface, bubbling up momentarily to bask in the freedom of its expression. This concert will surely be a rendezvous of frivolous sweetness for the loving mind!”
