Flute and piano combine for a US-French crossover concert hosted by Wigan Music Society
Cultures and styles unite for the latest recital to be held by Wigan Music Society.
The flautist Sarah Waycott and pianist Olivia Dance team up for the concert at Trinity United Reformed Church, Milton Grove, on Saturday April 25.
They will present a programme in two halves exploring a French-American connection.
This connection enabled a cross-over of cultures and musical styles spanning across the decades and resulting in the “American sound”.
But how “American” is the music of America and how much is rooted in the streets and salons of Paris?”
The mezzo-soprano Lorna Day, who had been due to sing in the same concert has had to withdraw, but the society is hoping to see her again at a future date.
The doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start. Tickets – cash or card on the door – are £10 to society members and £15 for guests.
The season’s final concert will be given by the Brixi Singers ofBolton on June 6 .
