The afternoon will also feature the premiere of a new composition, 鈥淪onata for Flute and Piano鈥� by Canadian composer, pianist and former LCMS faculty member, Leslie Janos.
Janos, who often accompanied Hung on the piano and coached him in preparation for performances and festivals, remembers the young flautist fondly.
鈥淧aul was a brilliant student of my wife, Caroline Janos, at LCMS,鈥� Janos said. 鈥淗e was always very enthusiastic about music and the playing of the flute, and we all had great times together.鈥�
There will be an intimate, pre-concert conversation with the duo and artistic director Elizabeth Bergmann, followed by a short break with coffee and refreshments before the performance at 3:30 pm.
