A star flutist only comes around once
or twice in a generation — and it’s
fair to say that this generation’s
strongest candidate is the Swiss-born
Emmanuel Pahud. One of today’s most
adventurous musicians, Pahud joined
the Berlin Philharmonic as principal
flute under Claudio Abbado at age 22,
a position he still holds today.
His UMS debut recital showcases his
technical finesse and interpretive
genius, creating a Valentine’s Day
performance that overflows with insight
and intensity.
Written by George Gershwin, DuBose
and Dorothy Heyward, and Ira
Gershwin
