In their program with San Francisco Performances flutist Emmanuel Pahud and pianist Alessio Bax, will explore works originally written for other instruments, highlighting how the flute can bring out new facets of familiar music including music by Schubert, Poulenc and Mendelssohn.
Swiss-and-French flautist Emmanuel Pahud began studying music at the age of six. He graduated in 1990 with the Premier Prix from the Paris Conservatoire, and went on studying with Aurele Nicolet. He won 1st Prize at the Duino, Kobe and Geneva Competitions, and at age 22 Emmanuel joined the Berliner Philharmoniker as Principal Flute under Claudio Abbado, a position which he still holds today. In addition, he enjoys an extensive international career as soloist and chamber musician.
Pahud appears regularly at leading concert series, festivals and orchestras worldwide, and has collaborated as a soloist with top conductors such as Abbado, Antonini, Barenboim, Boulez, Fischer, Gergiev, Gardiner, Harding, Jarvi, Maazel, Nezet-Seguin, Orozco-Estrada, Perlman, Pinnock, Rattle, Rostropovich, Zinman.
Hailed by International Piano as "a pianist of refreshing depth," Alessio Bax boasts an extensive concerto repertoire, which he puts to work this season playing Beethoven in Italy, Alabama, and Virginia; Brahms in Santa Rosa, California; Schumann in Santa Barbara; and returning to the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra for MacDowell's Concerto No. 2 under Bramwell Tovey. Finally, he collaborates twice with Miguel Harth-Bedoya: on Mozart with the Norwegian Radio Orchestra, where Harth-Bedoya is principal conductor, and on Tchaikovsky with the Orquesta Nacional de Espana in Madrid.
The evening's program will be as follows:
POULENC: Sonata for Flute & Piano, FP 164
SCHUBERT: Sonata in A minor for Arpeggione and Piano, D. 821
SCHUMANN: Fantasiestucke, Op. 73
