New Release of The Gathering Dusk

Posted on

Susan Craig Winsberg has just released a new recording of one of her favorite original compositions, “The Gathering Dusk,” with Susan on Irish wooden flute and whistle, Sean Clegg on guitar, and guest musician Luanne Homzy on violin and viola.  This is the best version of “The Gathering Dusk” to date, rich and atmospheric, calming and comforting — just what we need during these trying times.  Susan also created a lush and beautiful nature video to accompany the tune, providing a feast for the eyes as well as the soul.

World Premiere of “Sue’s Night on the Town” for Flute and Wind Ensemble

Posted on

I’m very excited to announce that I will be performing a World Premiere of composer Ross Wright’s piece “Sue’s Night on the Town” for Flute and Wind Ensemble next Sunday, April 14th.

“Sue’s Night on the Town” is a one-movement flute concerto, composed in 2018 by Ross Wright, especially for me. I will be performing it with the 90-piece L.A. Symphonic Winds, conducted by Steve Piazza. For those of you who know Ross’s music, this is another one of his wild rides!

“Sue’s Night on the Town” will be featured as part of the annual “Stars of the L.A. Winds” concert. This concert will feature several composers, soloists, arrangers and conductors from the ensemble.

A couple other exciting pieces on the program are:
“Sir David” by Charles Fernandez, and Malcolm Arnold’s “Tam O’Shanter,” program music based on Robert Burn’s epic poem. Susan Craig Winsberg and Karen Milne (from Scotland) will be reciting excerpts of the poem in advance of the piece. For those of you who don’t know the story of Tam O’ Shanter, you’re in for a treat!

Here is the info for the concert:
Sunday, April 14th at 2:30 pm
Calabasas High School Performing Arts Education Center
22855 Mulholland Hwy,
Calabasas, CA 91302

Tickets are $20 at the door.
