• Claire Chase, flute

Charles Ives — The Unanswered Question
Felipe Lara — Double Concerto for flutes double bass and voice (Claire Chase, flute & Esperanza Spalding, double bass/voice)
Igor Stravinsky — Petrushka (1947 version)

Felipe Lara's Double Concerto, written specifically for flutist Claire Chase and jazz bassist and singer esperanza spalding, employs a vast array of effects from both soloists. In Petrushka, Stravinsky created an exciting new world of sound — shifting rhythms and keys, and echoes of a barrel organ — to tell the story of a puppet love triangle set at a Shrovetide Fair. Susanna Mälkki conducts.
