In 2012, Sir James Galway called the young Crimean flutist Denis Bouriakov “the greatest living talent at the moment on the flute.” Since that time, Bouriakov has established himself as one of the world’s leading soloists. With his phenomenal instrumental command and impeccable artistry, he is continually expanding the limits of the flute’s technique and repertoire through his burgeoning catalogue of transcriptions, recordings, and videos.

​

His unique virtuosity will be showcased in a recital of music for flute and orchestra supported by eighteen musicians from the New York Philharmonic conducted by PCC’s Artistic Director, Michael Parloff.

​

The program will include concertos by Mozart and François Devienne, and Denis’ wife, Erin, will share the spotlight in Bach’s Double Concerto in D minor, arranged for two flutes and orchestra. The afternoon will culminate with Denis’s bravura transcription Camille Saint-Saëns’s scintillating Rondo Capriccioso for flute and strings.
