AUSOM Concert & Lecture Series: Derek Charke & Norm Adams

On Thursday, January 23, the Acadia School of Music Concert & Lecture Series presents a performance by The Adams Charke Exchange.
 
The Adams Charke Exchange is an improvising duo consisting of Norman Adams (cello) and Derek Charke (flutes). Together they have been working as collaborators for many years. They will present “Islands”, a newly created work (sponsored by the Acadia Research Funds) that explores the nature and profundity of improvisation between performer/creators. They will also perform “The Engine Continuum” by Charke, and “Les Folies d'Espagne” by Marin Marais.
 
This event begins at 1:00pm in DENTON HALL.
 
Concert & Lecture Series events are free and all are welcome to attend – please join us!
