Ceylon Mitchell, Flute: DMA Recital from The Clarice on Vimeo.

Ceylon Mitchell II, a DMA flute student with Dr. Sarah Frisof, performs works by the Cuban composer Leo Brouwer. Featuring traditional tonality and Baroque era forms, avant-garde and aleatoric techniques, and Afro-Cuban strains, the program selections span Brouwer’s three stages of composition and represent his eclectic sound universe. Throughout his output, his music is a kind of musical cartography and allegory of Latin America, with its most emblematic landscapes, characters and cultures. Passages with controlled indeterminacy and extended techniques in the musical forces (flute, guitar, and piano) create fascinating textures and colorful soundscapes connected to ancient and modern Latin American literature and culture.
