The Dreams of Birds

Chamber repertoire for standard concert flute abounds, but cousins of the flute – like the piccolo, alto flute, and bass flute – are often relegated to cameos and overlooked for starring roles. It is a true rarity for all of these family members to be featured together on one disc. On “The Dreams of Birds” eight of America’s leading composers have created works for flute sorceress Jenni Olson and company, allowing bold exploration of the full sonic range of the flute family.
