Tuesday, May 15 at 7 p.m. – Join the Fourth Avenue Trio for its first concert at the Morrin Centre, 44 Chaussée des Écossais in Old Quebec. The evening’s program will feature music by the great Polish composer for piano Frédéric Chopin and one of the foremost composers of woodwind duets, Friedrich Kuhlau. The heart of the recital, however, is anchored in the baroque period, of which the best-known composers are Johann Sebastian Bach and George Friderich Handel. One particularly emotional and haunting compositional form from that period is the “trio sonata” in which three instruments (two woodwinds and a harpsichord) pass a theme back and forth with variations in key, mood and emotion.
– Emma Ahern first discovered her passion for the oboe at age twelve when her teachers at Mont-Saint-Sacrement High School noticed her natural talent for the instrument. She is now studying the oboe at undergraduate level with Philippe Magnan at the Conservatoire de Musique de Québec, where she also plays regularly in the school orchestra and in two chamber music ensembles. Her studies have also led her to play in well-known orchestras such as the Orchestre symphonique de la Côte-Nord and Orchestre symphonique de Québec.
– Kasia Borkowska grew up in Poland where she started playing piano at age 6. On moving to Canada at age 15, she continued studying piano performance along with music history and literature. She has M.A. in ethnomusicology and graduate diploma in education. She lives in Quebec where she teaches English and piano.
– Peter Calkins discovered music at age seven as a soprano in his father’s church choir and has played the flute since he was eight. While a student at Harvard, he performed in Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro and Gilbert and Sullivan’s Mikado. He then played first flute in the Cornell University orchestra. Since retirement from Laval University as a professor of Asian and African economic development, he has become active in the Quebec Art Company, performing in My Fair Lady, South Pacific, Guys and Dolls, Cage aux folles, and Jesus Christ Superstar. He has also played flute for the As de choeur’s production of Into the Woods and the soundtrack for the indie film The Troubadour Child.
