On Sunday, January 12, the Christ Church Concert Series will present the acclaimed Terra Voce flute and cello duo at 4:00 p.m. Known for its lively and creative programs, Terra Voce combines the diverse and the unexpected testing the limits of what is possible on just two instruments. Cellist Andrew Gabbert and flutist Elizabeth Brightbill thrill audiences with their virtuosity, engaging, conversational style of presentation, and their genre-expanding programs that explore a wide range of musical styles, traditions, and cross-cultural influence.
In addition to numerous performances on college campuses and community concert series, Terra Voce has appeared on the Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center, in the Christ Chapel Chamber Series at New York City’s Riverside Church, and as finalists in the National Flute Association’s Chamber Music Competition. Along with three other flute and cello duos, Terra Voce has formed a commissioning circle and premiered this consortium’s first commission, Dviraag by Asha Srinivasan in 2009. Subsequently, they performed this work at the 2010 Society of Composers National Conference to much acclaim. Terra Voce is on the roster for the Virginia Commission for the Arts Residency Program. Their CD The Frost Is All Over was selected as an “Editor’s Pick” on CD Baby.
Terra Voce will perform on what is to be the fifth in a series of eight concerts for the 2013-2014 Christ Church Concert Series. This particular concert is unique in that the setting will be that of a coffee house. Taking place in the parish hall adjacent to the sanctuary, fresh coffee and pastry will be served making this event a cozy respite from the chilling weather on a January afternoon. The concert is free and the public is invited to attend. This series is sponsored in part by a grant from the Talbot County Arts Council with funds provided by the Maryland State Arts Council. Christ Church is located at 111 S. Harrison Street in historic downtown Easton, MD. For information call 410-822-2677.
