Lehmann Hall at Music Academy of the West

Two masters of their instruments take on a trio of Russian-born visionaries: one who stayed (Prokofiev), one who left (Rachmaninoff), and one who redefined music abroad (Stravinsky). Salastina’s Resident Flutist Ben Smolen and Resident Pianist HyeJin Kim play Prokofiev's Flute Sonata in D, Op. 94 and premiere Ben’s original arrangement of Stravinksy’s Suite Italienne. The program also includes several of Rachmaninoff’s preludes for solo piano.

Complimentary wine reception with the artists to follow. More info on our venues and parking here.
