ARTIST BIOS:

Ellen Burr’s multifaceted musical career has won her praise in performance, improvisation and composition.  She had her solo debut with the Topeka Civic Symphony at age sixteen, and this past October played Michael Kibbe’s Verdugo with the Carson City Symphony.   

 

Ellen has been improvising almost as long as she's been playing, and began teaching only two years after she began taking private lessons. Ellen appears on more than twenty-five CD's and has received worldwide performances of over fifty of her compositions. Her improvisational card game Ink Bops is included in the graphic score anthology Notations 21, ed. by Theresa Sauer, pub. 2009.

            She has been a featured performer/clinician for high schools, universities, and festivals across the U.S., Canada, UK, and EU. Ms. Burr held a year-long position as visiting assistant professor of theory and music composition at Wichita State University, and was guest flute instructor for a semester at California Institute of the Arts.

            Ms. Burr holds a Bachelor of Music degree in Flute Performance from Wichita State University, a Master of Fine Arts degree in Music Composition from California Institute of the Arts, and the Certificat de Stage at the Academie Internationale D’Ete in France.  Her flute teachers have been Jean-Pierre Rampal, Jim Walker, and Dr. Frances Shelly.

            Ms. Burr was the subject of a feature article, “Teaching Self-Awareness,” (Flute Talk, vol.17, no.2), and has since contributed articles on the business of teaching.  Most recently her article about teaching, “Obstacle or Opportunity,” was published in the MTAC magazine. Ellen is a Yamaha Artist.

 

 Lorenzo Sánchez, pianist, has enjoyed interpreting music of a variety of styles and nationalities in the United States, Mexico, and Europe. Lorenzo premiered Robert Guillory’s Concertino for Piano and Orchestra. His interest in Polish music led to him giving several lecture-performances at the Paderewski Festival in Paso Robles, California. He has performed for African-American composer George Walker and Japanese composer Mitsuru Asaka in Hawaii. He has played for several choirs touring Italy, The Vatican, and several Filipino community celebration masses at Our Lady Queen of Angels in Los Angeles. Looking toward his own heritage, Lorenzo has edited and helped publish piano works by Mexican composer Domingo Lobato. He has recorded two CDs of Lobato’s solo piano works , and recently released a CD with clarinetist Virginia Figueiredo. All of his recordings are available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, and others. Unfortunately, the global pandemic caused the cancellation of concert appearances in Brazil and Mexico this year. Lorenzo holds a Doctorate of Musical Arts degree from the University of Southern California.

 

PROGRAM NOTES:

George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) received his training in Germany and worked as a composer in Germany and Italy before settling in London where he spent the bulk of his career. He wrote many flute sonatas, though the exact number is uncertain because of authenticity or the fact that it may have been originally written for another instrument. Sonata in C Major (HWV365) was originally written for recorder.

 

Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) wrote “The Blackbird” in 1951. It is his shortest work with no time or key signature. It was a commission for the Concours de flute for the Paris Conservatoire where Messiaen taught at the time. It was the earliest of his pieces to be based mainly on birdsong.

 

Joaquin Gutiérrez Heras (1927-2012) a Tehuacan composer wrote Sonata Simple for a couple of amateurs. His vast knowledge of early music is reflected in a harmonic language that is often modal in its conception. This is one of his best-known pieces.

 

George Enescu (1881-1955) a Rumanian violin virtuoso changed the spelling of his name to Enesco after his left his home country, at age 14, to study in Paris. “Cantabile et Presto” was composed for the Concours de flute for the Paris Conservatoire in 1904. Enesco favors the interplay of lines over the complexity of harmony. Pablo Casals described Enesco as “the greatest musical phenomenon since Mozart.”

 

Mower, Mike (b.1958) was born the same year as Ellen in Bath, UK. He studied flute at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Known as both a composer and flutist, Mower is also a self-taught saxophonist. He has his own publishing company, “Itchy Fingers.” “Bluebop” from Opus di Jazz is a blues which he treated with various be-bop and hard-bop chord changes.
