Music for winds and piano with an emphasis on movement and dance! From a charming work by Saint-Saëns, through a mediation on the work of Langston Hughes (with visits to Harlem jazz clubs and Paris cabarets) to the irresistible action of Connesson's ode to techno. Add to this some Messiaen birdsong and a multimedia piece for clarinet and video, and there will be plenty of action.

Featuring Jack Chen, flute; Eileen Walsh, clarinet; Simon Docking, piano

CAMILLE SAINT-SAËNS: Tarantella
OLIVIER MESSIAEN: Le merle noir
VALERIE COLEMAN: Portraits of Langston
