Brandon Music Presents
Heliand Consort Trio on Oct 28

Brandon Music, 62 Country Club Road, Brandon, Vermont, presents Heliand Consort's popular Winds Take Flightprogram on Sunday, October 28, 2012, at 3:00 pm. The program includes a delightful potpourri of classical music for woodwinds including trios by French composers  Jean Françaix and Jacques Ibert, and Cuban-American composer Paquito D'Rivera. Tickets are $15 and are available by calling Brandon Music at (802) 465-4071 or by emailing info@brandon-music.net. Café patrons, please note that lunch will not be served after 2 pm that day.

Dozens of pieces have been written for this charming reed trio combination, also known as the "trio d'anches", and it was a particular favorite among 20th century French composers, who had an exceptional flair for capturing the playful essence and lighthearted sounds of the woodwinds. The program will also include a vocal trio arrangement by Vermont composer, Dennis Kitsz, and a delightful Habanera by Paquito D'Rivera.

Vermont's own Heliand Consort includes oboist Katie Oprea, clarinetist Elisabeth LeBlanc, and bassoonist Rachael Elliott. All three musicians were raised in Vermont and performed in the Vermont Youth Orchestra as students. They have gone on to pursue careers as freelance musicians, and have performed together with Heliand Consort over the past six years. The ensemble presents annual concerts throughout the region, as well as occasional out-of-state engagements, including recent performances at Duke University and the University of North Carolina School for the Arts.

Oboist Katie Oprea trained at the University of Southern Maine, the University of Iowa, and the Conservatoire National de Région of Lyon, in France. While in Europe, she served as principal oboist with the Romanian State Opera of Timisoara for four years, and appeared with the Timisoara Philharmonic, Europa Symphony, and Bolshoi Ballet. Currently, Oprea is principal oboist with the Burlington Chamber Orchestra and Vermont Philharmonic, and performs regularly with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, Burlington Ensemble, and the Middlebury Opera Company.
