Winds of Change
Available Nov 1-30
Virtuoso flutist Emi Ferguson joins Les Délices for a program of riveting chamber works from the eve of the French and Haitian Revolutions. Inspired by philosophical ideals of liberty and equality and early abolitionist writing, we pair works by Joseph Bologne Chevalier de St. Georges and Luigi Boccherini with a new work by Haitian composer Sydney Guillaume.
We are pleased to make this program from the Les Délices archive available again to our audience. Winds of Change was originally recorded in 2021.
