She and guitarist Guiseppe Zangari will celebrate what's regarded as some of the most beautiful Italian music ever made in a flute and guitar concert at Goulburn Performing Arts Centre on Friday, June 16 at 12pm.
Titled Viva Italia, the duo will perform tarantellas, Italian dances and songs by Vivaldi, Verdi, Corelli, Guiliani, Paganini, Piovanni (from the film La Vita e Bella) Caccini, Enrico Morricone (Gabriel's Oboe) and much more.
Jane Rutter has been described as a classical trailblazer who has devoted her life to French flute, playing in a career that spans decades. She is known for her onstage warmth and conveys "passion, sparkling technique and elegance of expression through her beautiful flute playing."
"This lunch time concert will take our audience on a magical journey through all things BELLA in Italian music and culture, with exquisite musicianship mixed with lots of charm and humour. What a delicious way to spend your lunch hour," Goulburn Performing Arts Centre Manager Raina Savage said.
