Fine Arts Chamber Players (FACP) proudly announces Texas Capital Bank is the Title Sponsor of the final concert of FACP’s 39th annual Basically Beethoven Festival. The program, titled “Paris Connections,” features chamber music for flute and strings, with music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and French composers François Devienne, Maurice Ravel, and Claude Debussy. The performance is Sunday, July 28, at 2:30 p.m. in Moody Performance Hall in the Dallas Arts District.
“Texas Capital Bank is such a fine community partner and business leader,” says FACP Executive Director Emily Guthrie. “We admire their outreach to underserved communities and feel a kinship between that and our work to break down barriers that prevent North Texans from experiencing and enjoying classical music. Texas Capital Bank’s sponsorship again this year has allowed us to improve the Festival for our audience and our musicians. We love producing concerts that are free for all to attend, and we are thankful for Texas Capital Bank’s vision in helping us do just that.”
Every Festival program starts with a Rising Star Recital at 2:30 p.m. followed by a Feature Performance at 3 p.m. Rising Star Recitals present local, gifted young musicians; Feature Performances showcase professional musicians from the area. The July 28 Rising Star Recital features two student musicians: Anais Feller, violin, and Ella Tran, piano performing Ludwig van Beethoven’s Violin Sonata No. 8, op. 30 no. 3.
The Feature Performance musicians, Margaret Fischer, flute; Lucas Aleman, violin; Lauren Menard, viola; and Una Gong, cello; come together for performances of music related to the artistic hub and inspirational oasis of Paris:
François Devienne: Duo No. 5 for flute and viola
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Flute Quartet in D Major, K. 285
Maurice Ravel: Sonata for violin and cello
Claude Debussy (arr. Bernard Chapron): Six Epigraphes Antiques
