St Barnabas Sunday Concerts - Sara Minelli, Flute

SARA MINELLI, FLUTE

‘Bird Song’

Flute virtuoso Sara Minelli performs an amazingly varied programme of music from classical to avant-garde… including her exquisite ‘Bird Portraits’ specially commissioned from Australian composer Edward Cowie, as well as pieces for solo piccolo, featuring works by Janáček, Roussel, and Messiaen. Sara will be joined by pianist Roderick Chadwick and soprano Gillian Keith. 

“Sara Minelli is a virtuoso player with real mastery of avant-garde technique, including vocalising and whistling where required... The Green Cat Bird sounds remarkably like a crying baby and Sara Minelli’s flute captures that idea astonishingly well...– The British Music Society.”
