Iva Ugrcic & Satoko Hayami
Arts + LIterature Laboratory welcomes flute-piano duo, Iva Ugrcic and Satoko Hayami, who will present a program that showcases the duo's exceptional musicianship and versatility and feature works that span three centuries and a range of styles on Sunday, March 26 at 2:00pm. Tickets are $20 ($15 for students/ALL members) in advance, or at the door for $25.
Described as "luminaries," "world-class," and "adventurous," the flute-piano duo of Dr. Iva Ugrcic (fl) and Dr. Satoko Hayami (pf) have presented uniquely diverse and virtuosic programs through dynamic performances and storytelling since 2017. Passionate about premiering and commissioning works by contemporary composers, especially women composers from diverse backgrounds, the duo prioritizes and thrives in sharing the perspectives of newly composed works while celebrating the ones that paved the path for future generations.
The duo appeared in numerous venues and festivals around the country, including the internationally recognized Wisconsin Memorial Union Theater, Overture Center for the Arts, LunART Festival, Green Lake Chamber Festival, and Sunday Afternoon Live at Chazen, among others.
The program will open with César Franck's Sonata in A major originally written for Violin and Piano. The four-movement sonata is a masterpiece of Romantic chamber music, filled with lush melodies and intricate harmonies. Dedicatee of the piece, Eugene Ysaye, who himself often performed this piece, told the audience he played it "con amore" as this was a wedding gift.
Next, the duo will perform the best-known work by an American composer, Eldin Burton, Sonatina for flute and piano. It is a charming and playful work that showcases the virtuosity of both performers. The three movements of the Sonatina vary in character and mood, ranging from the light and breezy Allegretto grazioso to the lively and rhythmic Allegro giocoso quasi fandango.
The concert will also feature Cecile Chaminade's Flute Concertino in D Major, Op. 107, a beloved work in the flute repertoire that highlights the instrument's agility and expressiveness. Chaminade was a trailblazing composer and performer in a male-dominated field, and her Concertino is a testament to her talent and vision.
The highlight of the concert will be Eunike Tanzil's Hues of Spring, a brand-new, extremely virtuosic work commissioned by the LunART Festival, premiered by Iva and Satoko in 2022. Tanzil, a rising star in the contemporary classical world, also incorporates jazz musical language. She draws inspiration from nature and the changing seasons, creating a colorful and evocative musical landscape.
