SALON CONCERTS OF BALTIMORE: Amanda Dame & Carter McMullen

For the encore performance of this year’s Salon Concerts of Baltimore season finale, we are delighted to present an all-French program of music for flute and piano. Flutist Amanda Dame and pianist Carter McMullen will perform duo and solo works by Caplet, Fauré, Hüe, Debussy, Sancan, and Poulenc. A journey through the Late-Romantic and Impressionistic periods building to the Modern era, the program will be full of captivating melodies, lush harmonies, and exciting energy!
