The concert includes Greek composer's Nickos Harizanos's MEDEA-SPARAGMATA's arrangement for flute, viola, video projection and electronics. This music theatre work utilizes elements of the ancient voice metric, polymodal (polytropic) harmony and many extended techniques on the Flute. Interludes of free improvisation provide contrast between unpredictability and stability, imparting an unworldly character to the piece.
Other works include Brooklyn-based composer John Glover's work LIFE CYCLES --a multimedia work for flute, viola, and electronics created in response to Artist MARK MASTROIANNI'S new body of work- "Natural Wisdom" exhibition at Woodward Gallery and first performed in the Fall of 2012 in New York, New York composer Dan Cooper's transcriptions of Otto Luenings NOCTURNES- which Luening describes as " the Odyssey of an American Composer", for flute and digital delay. Other composer's works in the program include Reza Vali, Dai fujikura and Eve Beglarian.
