Linda Bento-Rei and Vytas Baksys will present
flute and piano selections during a Marvelous
Music program at Siesta Key's St. Boniface
Episcopal Church on April 25, the church
has announced.
The event will begin at 7:30 p.m. The ticket
donation is $10.
The church is located at 5615 Midnight
Pass Road.
Bento-Rei has performed frequently as a
soloist and in chamber music programs
throughout New England, a news release
notes. Since 1989, Baksys has been the fac-
ulty pianist with the Fellowship Conducting
Program at The Tanglewood Music Center
and a frequent keyboardist with the Boston
Symphony and Boston Pops orchestras, the
release continues.
The program will feature Sonata Latino
by Mike Mower; CPE Bach's Sonata in G
minor; Joseph Jongen's Sonata pour flute et
piano, Op. 77; and Peter Schickele's Spring
Serenade, the release adds.
The performance of Sonata pour flute et
piano is part of what has come to be known
as Bento-Rei's "Jongen Project," the release
notes. "Having fallen in love with the flute
music by this composer," the release says,
she is in the process of recording many of his
works for flute and other instruments.
"Most of Jongen's music is known only to
enthusiasts of the pipe organ, though he
composed prolifically in almost all forms of
music," the release points out.
Tickets are available online and they will be
offered at the door.
