ARTIST BIOS:

Flutist Katherine Marsh is an active professional musician and teacher. She is currently the solo piccolo player of the Santa Barbara Symphony, principal flute of the San Fernando Valley Symphony Orchestra and has performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Santa Barbara Grand Opera and Master Choral, the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, Pasadena Symphony and Long Beach Symphony, as well as other symphony and chamber ensembles throughout Southern California.

Originally from Bowling Green, Ohio, Marsh received a Bachelor of Music degree from the Eastman School of Music and a Master of Music degree from the University of Southern California. Her principal teachers include Bonita Boyd, Samuel Baron, Roger Stevens and Louise DiTullio. She was a member of the LA Philharmonic Orchestral Training Program and was selected to perform in The Round Top Music Festival and the Orchestral Institute in Graz, Austria. In addition Marsh has performed in master classes with James Galway, Jean Pierre Rampal, Sarah Jackson and Catherine Karoly.

Marsh premiered James Domine’s “Flute Concerto” with the San Fernando Valley Symphony. Her piccolo and flute playing can be heard in many Star Wars video games performing with the Skywalker Orchestra. In addition to orchestral work, Marsh is a member of the California Music Teacher’s Association and is a coach for Junior Chamber Music. She recently served as a board member for the Arts High Foundation. https://www.kathymarshflute.net/bio

Patrick Marsh received his bachelor’s degree in viola performance from the University of Michigan and is currently attending The Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins as a viola major.

As a violist, Patrick was one of the founding members of “Clemens Quartet,” a string quartet performing and competing throughout the United States. As a violinist, Patrick is a former concertmaster of The Los Angeles County High School for the Arts. His performance opportunities have taken him across the United States, Europe, and St. Petersburg Russia.

Though classical music is the foundation of his technique, he can be found branching out into the jazz and rock genres. Patrick plays a blue Fourness Fuse 5-string electric violin and runs it through a Line6 Helix for effects, and two Gallien Krueger bass amps in stereo.

Patrick can also be heard as a featured soloist in such feature films as “Kids vs. Monsters” and “Pali Road” as well as such video games as “Relics of Gods” and Disney’s “Cartooniverse.” https://www.patrickmarshmusic.com/

PROGRAM NOTES:

 

Friedrich Ludwig Dülon (1769-1826) became the most prominent flutist of the classical period despite being blind.  Like Mozart he started performing as a child. Throughout the 1780s, Dülon toured Europe extensively with his father and sister, gaining fame and recognition. A significant moment in his career was his visit to Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach in Hamburg in 1783. He eventually became court musician in St. Petersburg. Audiences were astounded by his ability to play chamber music and concertos with musicians he could not see. He retired in 1798 with a pension granted him by the Czar Paul I of Russia. He wrote his autobiography detailing his life as a touring musician and the problems with blindness using an alphabet specially developed for him by a college professor in Dresden.

The Three Duos for Flute and Viola Op. 6 were written in 1810. They were some of the first  pieces for flute and viola composed in sonata form. 

Malcolm Arnold (1921–2006) was an English composer and conductor. His works feature music in many genres, including a cycle of nine symphonies, numerous concertos, concert works, chamber music, choral music and music for brass band and wind band. His style is tonal and with  lively rhythms. He wrote extensively for the theater, with five ballets specially commissioned by the Royal Ballet, as well as two operas and a musical. He also produced scores for more than a hundred films, among these The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), for which he won an Oscar.

Malcolm Arnold’s Duo for Flute and Viola Op. 10 is a chamber work composed in 1945 that explores an unusual instrumental pairing by balancing the flute's bright vivacity with the dark, mellow voice of the viola. It was premiered in 1946 in London.
