Flutist Victor Somma and pianist Luís Rabello present a program that highlights the expressive power and versatility of the flute-piano duo.
Astor Piazzolla – Histoire du TangoA passionate and rhythmic journey through the evolution of the tango, from its origins in Buenos Aires cafés to its concert hall transformation.
Sergei Prokofiev – Sonata for Flute and Piano, Op. 94Written during World War II, this sonata blends lyricism, wit, and virtuosic brilliance, standing as one of the cornerstones of the flute repertoire.
Heitor Villa-Lobos – O Martírio dos Insetos (The Martyrdom of the Insects)A rarely heard gem by Brazil’s greatest modernist, this evocative miniature reveals Villa-Lobos’s unique sound world—intense, colorful, and deeply imaginative.
Together, these works form a contemporary soundscape that is at once poetic, dramatic, and full of character—an evening of discovery and artistry.
