Ensemble Aubade: Chamber Music by Ravel, Debussy and others

Ensemble Aubade (Peter H. Bloom, flute; Francis Grimes, viola; and Mary Jane Rupert, harp) will perform Claude Debussy’s transcendent Sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp, one of the masterpieces of the chamber music repertoire. Other selections will include the lush and thrilling Sonatine en Trio by Maurice Ravel, the charming Suite Brêve by Ladislas de Rohozinski, and the vivid and moving Elegiac Trio by Arnold Bax.

Ensemble Aubade concertizes across the United States, with performances at the Saint Louis Art Museum, The Robert H. Wood Great Artist Series (NY), The Webster Series (Hanover NH), The Master Arts Series (Knoxville), Westminster Fine Arts (Des Moines), The Chamber Music Society of Central Kentucky in Lexington, The Mississippi Chambre Music Guild in Jackson, and many other venues. The group has been hailed for “intensity, imagination, skill, and finesse” (St. Lawrence University) and “rich interpretations and beautiful contrasts” (West Claremont Center for the Arts). Their music has been called “dynamic, expressive, richly colored and affecting” (Sisters of Loretto, Kentucky).

Peter H. Bloom, flute, whose playing has been called “a revelation for unforced sweetness and strength” (The Boston Globe), performs in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand; is featured on 45 recordings (Sony Classical, Dorian, Leo Records, other labels); is contributing editor for Noteworthy Sheet Music; and is a winner of the American Musicological Society’s Noah Greenberg Award. His career spans chamber music from the Renaissance to the 21st century, and he is a noted jazz artist, veteran of the internationally acclaimed Aardvark Jazz Orchestra (46th season).

Mary Jane Rupert, harp, praised by The New York Times as exhibiting "indeed real sensitivity," has performed throughout the world from Carnegie Recital Hall to the Beijing Concert Hall. She has appeared as concert pianist and harpist with chamber ensembles, choral groups and orchestras across the United States. She serves on the faculties of Boston College and Tufts University and taught previously at Western Michigan University, MIT, and Wellesley College, where she taught harp for 20 years.

Francis Grimes, viola, has performed with the Boston Pops, Boston Opera, Boston Ballet, Masterworks Chorale, Sinfonova, Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra, and other distinguished ensembles, and regularly serves in the orchestras of the Colonial and Schubert Theatres. He toured nationally with the Star Wars Orchestra and has performed with choral groups in England, Italy and the Czech Republic.
