John Rutter’s Suite Antique was first premiered alongside a performance of Bach’s Brandenburg 5. Rutter called for identical orchestration of harpsichord, flute, and a string orchestra. Each delightful movement is patterned on a Baroque or Classical style. The performance features Christine Gustafson, Professor of Flute at ECU and John O Brian, Conductor.
Lyyra is the all-women vocal ensemble from The VOCES8 Foundation and is based in the USA. ECMAEF is proud to present this concert of world-class choral artists in partnership with the S. Rudolph Alexander Performing Arts Series.
