The Michigan-based Folias Duo—flutist-composer Carmen Maret and guitarist-composer Andrew Bergeron—are set to release their ninth studio album, Great Lakes next month. The album features eight original compositions exploring the history, geography, and movement of the Great Lakes region, and also marks the duo's first vinyl record. We'll give an early listen on this week's Sunday on Blue Lake with Foley Schuler, as we sample selections from the new recording ahead of its August 14 release.
The Great Lakes inspired music will be complemented by the Water Music by Handel and the Four "Sea Interludes" from the opera Peter Grimes by Benjamin Britten, and our final hour will be given over to a presentation of the transcendent Requiem, Op. 48 by Gabriel Fauré in honor of the anniversary of its premiere, as well as a birthday tribute to Oscar Hammerstein II, including performances by the United States Marine Band and soprano Renée Fleming.
You can hear Sunday on Blue Lake with Foley Schuler every Sunday at its all-new time—from 1 until 4 pm—on Blue Lake Public Radio.
