Since the early 1980s Ned Rothenberg and Robert Dick have concertized internationally with J.D. Parran and later Herb Robertson as the trio New Winds. This concert will feature a new third member, the brilliant trumpeter Peter Evans.
With equally deep roots in classical music and free improvisation, Robert Dick has established himself as an artist who has redefined the flute. Known worldwide for creating revolutionary visions of the flute’s musical role, listening to Robert Dick play solo has been likened to the experience of hearing a full orchestra. His performances typically include flute(with his invention, the Glissando Headjoint), piccolo, alto flute, and bass flutes in C and F.
Peter Evans is a trumpet player, improvisor, and composer based in New York City since 2003. His activities range from free improvised music to fully composed works (old and new), from large ensemble down to solo concerts. For more info visit myspace.com.peterevanstrumpet.
