Chamber Music Palisades will present a world premiere of "Due Voci" for flute and cello composed by Lolita Ritmanis on Feb. 4 at 7:30 p.m. in the sanctuary of the Brentwood Presbyterian Church.
Ritmanis, a Grammy, Emmy and SCL Award-winning member of the international film music community and a faculty member at the USC Thornton School of Music, will speak at the concert about her new work.
Featured performers are Susan Greenberg, artistic director and co-founder of Chamber Music Palisades and former flutist with Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, presently principal flute with Santa Monica Symphony; John Walz, cellist and former student of the legendary French cellist Pierre Fournier, principal cellist with the Los Angeles Opera and soloist with more than 300 symphony orchestras on four continents; and Canadian pianist Barry Tan, assistant professor of music at Pepperdine University who recently released his debut CD.
Alan Chapman, KUSC host and longtime Chamber Music Palisades associate, will provide informative in-person program notes. In addition to the Ritmanis piece, the program will include works by Beethoven, Farrenc, and Martinu.
