Flagler Museum Music Series Presents the Poulenc Trio in concert

The tenth season of the Flagler Museum Music Series will continue to bring acclaimed musicians to the finest chamber music venue in South Florida. Visitors are invited to experience chamber music the way it was intended, in an intimate and gracious setting, typical of Gilded Age performances.

The Flagler Museum offers audience members the rare opportunity to meet performers during a champagne and dessert reception following each concert. Concert-goers are able to purchase music, collect autographs, and talk with the performers during the special reception.

Combining brilliant 21st-century vibrancy with the best of European instrumental tradition, the Poulenc Trio's performances leap beyond the ordinary concert experience, transporting audiences into a world of beautiful sonorities, playful rhythms, and dramatic excitement. The Trio brings together three uniquely gifted virtuosos, oboist Vladimir Lande, bassoonist Bryan Young, and pianist Irina Lande.

The Poulenc Trio is a international favorite, winning praise from Chamber Music Magazine, and the Double Reed Journal. The group has been called "virtuosos of classical and contemporary chamber music" in one profile for Russian television.

The ensemble's precision and versatility heighten the lyricism of Poulenc, the virtuosity of Rossini, the wit of Jean Francaix and the jazzy elegance of Andre Previn. As the best of a select few professional wind trios, the Poulenc Trio is committed to expanding the repertoire through the discovery of old masterpieces and new works.

The Trio's busy touring schedule has included recent tours of Russia with Hilary Hahn, Italy at the Ravello and Ville Vesuviane Festivals, the Islands of the Caribbean, and multiple appearances in every region of the United States. Highlights have included performances at the Kennedy Center in Washington and the Hermitage State Museum in Russia.
