On March 27th at a Concert as part of the Composers Voice Concert Series in New York City, Laura Falzon performed the US premiere of Greek composer Nickos Harizanos’s Stasima I for solo flute. During the same concert, Falzon, together with pianist Aysegul Durakoglu, also performed the New York Premiere of Turkish-American composer – Munir Beken’s Pottery Shards for flute & piano. Listen to an excerpt below.
Composer Nickos Harizanos’s Stasima I for solo flute is based on a five-note motif with which the work begins. This motive is an archetype gesture from ancient times and in Stasima I, its transformation and development gives shape to the whole piece.
“Your performance is great! Very energetic and very powerful with a full range of dynamics level” – Nickos Harizanos
