New Release: Picture Perfect Canvas From Dolce Suono

WBAA | By John Clare

Published June 21, 2018 at 7:55 AM EDT

Dolce Suono Trio and guest artist Lucy Shelton have really done it! American Canvas is picture perfect: beauty, composition, and playing! It features music by Jenifer Higdon, Shulamit Ran, Andrea Clearfield, and Zhou Tian that is inspired by art (Georgia O’Keeffe, Andrew Wyeth, and Jackson Pollock); the natural world (Canadian Rockies) literature (Spanish medieval hero El Cid); and the past (a companion piece to Schoenberg’s Pierrot lunaire).

Music Director John Clare spoke with flutist and founder Mimi Stillman about Dolce Suono's latest Innova recording.
