Learn more about the music that makes up HARBOR!
We selected each of these works for their connection to the many ways the concept of harbor can be expressed. Through solos, duos, and quartets for flute, we will explore how space and sound create opportunities for connection and protection.
Each of these pieces will come to life through dance and movement in our shows next week! We can’t wait to welcome you to share in this experience.
Tickets for 11/19 and 11/21 in NYC are on sale now — or you can grab a virtual ticket too! All info in our bio or at emissaryquartet.com/harbor
