Wind Talkers: Music for Woodwinds by Mark Piszczek at Timucua Arts Foundation, October 12

Central Florida Composers Forum is proud to support a concert featuring music by one of Orlando’s musical treasures, Mark Piszczek, performed by some of Orlando’s best musicians: flutist Nora Lee Garcia, pianist Richard Drexler, and Alterity Chamber Orchestra founders Beatriz Ramirez-Belt and Natalie Grata, along with other members of Alterity.

Sunday, October 12 at the Timucua White House
2000 South Summerlin, Orlando, FL 32806.
Doors: 2pm. Concert: 2:30pm.

“This concert features four world premieres! The compositions include a trio, quartet, two quintets and a sonata for flute and piano.
It’s a sort of musical travelogue depicting many of the beautiful and historic locations that I was privileged to call home over the last twenty five years, including Seattle, Southwest Wisconsin, Maine, Peterborough NH, Columbus OH Winston Salem NC and Winter Park FL. Two of these compositions includes movements dedicated to the late, Sam Rivers and composer Elliott Schwartz who was a dear friend and mentor.” – Mark Piszczek
