The Flute Clarinet Duos Consortium would like to let you know about the opportunity to be a part of an exciting new commission for flute, clarinet, and piano by American composer Pierre Jalbert.
Flute/Clarinet Duos Consortium, 2014
Jill Felber, Paul Bambach, Dianne Frazier Cross
The Flute/Clarinet Duos Consortium (FCDC) was founded in 2000 by a group of professional flutists and clarinetists with the goal of enriching the limited chamber music repertoire for flute and clarinet through commissioning new works, arranging regional premieres by consortium members, encouraging the publication of new works, and seeking major donors for commissioning projects. Our commissions for flute, clarinet, and piano include Libby Larsen’s Barn Dances for flute, clarinet, and piano, Derek Bermel’s Twin Trio, and Valerie Coleman’s Portraits of Langston.
We are thrilled to announce that the FCDC will now commission a trio by Pierre Jalbert, to be completed by spring of 2016. Jalbert, professor of composition and theory at Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music, has received many honors and awards, including the Rome Prize, the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award and the BBC Masterprize. His works are published by Schott, and have recently been performed by the Boston Symphony, Cabrillo Festival Orchestra and Midori. He has completed commissions for the Emerson Quartet and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center among others. Much more information is available on his website: http://www.pierrejalbert.com
