EVENT INFORMATION
he Los Angeles Recorder Orchestra (LARO), a 30-member ensemble conducted by Thomas Axworthy, presents its February concert “Stolen Glimpses”. The group will be playing many sizes of recorder, from the 9-inch Sopranino to the 8-foot-plus SubContraBass.
In this concert we are looking at music of our time from around the world and exploring how the rules have changed from music of earlier times. This music, while remaining mostly grounded in traditional harmonies, breaks from tradition in unexpected ways to explore the complex rhythms of early jazz and other 20th century dance forms. There will be arrangements of works by Gottschalk and Dukas as well as original recorder works by contemporary American composers Glen Shannon and Frances Blaker.
