Chamber Music Palisades will host a free, one-hour matinee concert at Brentwood Presbyterian Church on Saturday, May 17, beginning at 3:30 p.m. with Cantilena Duo performers Kenton Youngstrom on guitar and CMP Co-Founder/Artistic Director Susan Greenberg on flute and piccolo.
The concert—sponsored by the city of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs—will feature works for solo guitar and flute, as well as guitar by French, Spanish, Brazilian and Argentinian composers. The program includes Jacques Ibert’s “Entr’acte,” Gabriel Fauré’s “Sicilienne, Op. 78” (arranged by Youngstrom), Isaac Albéniz’ “Asturias” and more.
A member of LA Chamber Orchestra for 36 years, Greenberg is a “frequent soloist” on flute and piccolo. She is the principal flutist for Santa Monica Symphony and Vicente Chamber Orchestra, as well as the flute professor at Pepperdine University.
An award-winning guitarist, composer, arranger and educator, Youngstrom has performed and recorded classical, jazz and rock music worldwide. Recent recordings include “Voices of the Collection, Vols. 1&2” as well as “Jazz Roads Suite.”
Brentwood Presbyterian Church—a different venue from previous CMP evening and afternoon concerts—is located at 12000 San Vicente Boulevard. Reservations are not needed. The concert is free to attend but donations will be accepted in person as well as online.
“We are very grateful for these contributions as they enable us to continue providing these wonderful family-friendly concerts,” CMP said.
