Eclectic Virtuosi: Mina Sukovic - Flute "The attraction of the virtuoso for the public is very like that of the circus for the crowd. There is always the hope that something dangerous will happen. " - Claude Debussy On Dec. 13th at 7 pm, Composers Concordance continues its Eclectic Virtuoso series with flutist Mina Sukovic. The program features ten new contemporary works for solo flute as well as pieces for flute with guest performers, including Gene Pritsker (guitar), Daniel Schnyder (flute), and Milos Raickovich (piano). Highlights include Gene Pritsker’s Protest Suite, written in honor of the No Kings protest; Kirsten Johnson’s Sound Waves; David Post’s Panning Out; and Farewell, and Pray to God for Me by William Schimmel, written in memory of Patrick Hardish, the co-founder of CompCord, who passed away a few months ago. This concert showcases a diverse range of modern compositional approaches and presents an immersive evening of innovative flute performances. Mina Šuković enjoys her career as a versatile musician.
