Song and Dances from The New Village

The duo:
It all started one night when we played Astor Piazzola's "Histoire du tango" in New York for a benefit concert.
One rehearsal, the performance and realized it was in the stars.
Playing with another musician has never been so natural, so enjoyable, so genuine.
We knew it, the presenters knew it and more than anything the audience felt it.
The duo was formed and, along with it, a wonderful friendship

Laura Gilbert

Laura Gilbert, the distinguished young American flutist, has performed throughout North and South America, Europe, Japan and Korea. Her solo appearances include performances in Carnegie hall, Weill Recital Hall, Herbst Theatre, The Kennedy Center and Casals and Suntory Halls.
In a recent review, the New York Times said:
Her tone is deep, smoothly rounded and alluring, and her manipulation of dynamics and timbre imposed an unusually compelling dramatic shape on Luciano Berio's "sequenza"…
Ms Gilbert has participated in the Marlboro, Casals, Aspen, Norfolk and Bowdoin Festivals and has recently toured with "Musicians from Marlboro". She has performed with violinist Jaime Laredo in the "Chamber Music at the 92nd Street Y" series and with the Bach Aria Group, St. Luke's Ensemble, Speculum Musica, Dorian Quintet, the Brentano, St. Lawrence and Chicago Quartets and with the New York Philharmonic and the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra.
In addition she has enjoyed numerous chamber music collaborations with the late pianist, Rudolf Serkin. Ms. Gilbert has appeared frequently as soloist with Brandenburg Ensemble and has also made solo appearances with the Korea National Orchestra, Philharmonia Virtuosi, The Colorado Orchestra, the Northeastern Pennsylvania Orchestra and the Heidelberg Chamber Orchestra. She has been featured internationally and nationally on live radio and television broadcasts, and most recently on A&E Television's "Holiday in New York".
Ms. Gilbert is a member of Aureole, and ensemble of flute, viola and harp, that has won numerous awards and was short-listed for three Grammy nominations for their debut recording on Koch International. She has recorded solo and chamber music for Koch International Classics, Angel/EMI, Nonesuch and Warner Brothers.
Ms. Gilbert has served on the faculties of Mannes College of Music, Peabody Conservatory, Harid (Lynn) Conservatory and the Aaron Copland School of Music (Queens College).
