Music inspired by movement
"This recital is inspired by a deep passion for music and dance, exploring genres across different cultures and centuries. Being surrounded by dance from a young age has created a strong bond for me between body and music. My program showcases pieces with roots from South America, Africa, Southeast Europe, Asia, and New Zealand to celebrate various dance traditions and expressions of rhythm. It has been a rewarding challenge preparing works that push the flute and piano to technical extremes and explore the connection between music and movement.
It's been so joyful preparing this recital that intertwines two of my favourite things - music and dance! Rehearsing pieces connected to movement has opened a new sense of composure in my body when performing. I'm especially excited to perform 'Little Dancings' by New Zealand composer Christopher Blake and bring an element of home to my recital." - Emica Taylor
