Pioniere – Palazzetto Bru Zane, Venice

About this event

This is a chamber concert for flute and piano, presented within the cycle devoted to Clémence de Grandval. The event page classifies it as Concert and Chamber Music and lists Iris Daverio on flute and Jean-Paul Gasparian on piano. The stated artistic premise is historical. The source notes that women only began to take up the transverse flute widely in the twentieth century. It describes Romantic-era restrictions on women playing brass and woodwind instruments and notes that French music-school flute classes were reserved for men. The programme addresses that context through pieces for flute and piano by Grandval, Holmès, Chrétien and Bonis. No director, conductor, staging concept, set, costume, lighting or other design credit is published, so this should be entered as a concert presentation rather than a staged production. The event page states that the concert was recorded for Bru Zane Replay.
