Hailed as "Queen of the Flute" (New York Magazine), Grammy nominee Carol Wincenc has delighted audiences for nearly five decades with her signature charismatic, high virtuosity and deeply heartfelt musicality. She'll celebrate her 50-year career with two world premieres: Robert Sirota's DANCING WITH the ANGELS performed with her trio, Les Amies (which includes New York Philharmonic principals Cynthia Phelps, viola and Nancy Allen, harp), and a new work by Sato Matsui with pianist Brian Wagorn. The program also includes Messiaen's Le Merle Noir and Bach's Sonata in B minor for Flute and Piano.
