Sunday, July 27 at 4 p.m. — ROCHESTER — On Sunday, July 27 at 4 p.m. the Rochester Chamber Music Society (RCMS) will present a flute, viola, and piano concert at the Rochester Federated Church. The afternoon program will include a flute and piano sonata by Donizetti and Trio for Flute, Viola, and Piano by Martinu as well as several works by Daniel Kellogg. The summer series has been a huge success with packed events in celebration of the RCMS’ twentieth season in Rochester.
Flutist Christina Jennings is praised for virtuoso technique, rich tone, and command of a wide range of literature featuring works from Bach to Zwilich. The Houston Press declared: “Jennings has got what it takes: a distinctive voice, charisma, and a pyrotechnic style that works magic on the ears.” Ms. Jennings enjoys a musical career made up of diverse performing and recording, collaborations with living composers, and work guiding young musicians.
