Guerrilla Composers Guild presents: Areon Flutes
Local champions Areon Flutes perform a set of brand new works in collaboration with the Guerrilla Composers Guild. Featured composers include Nick Benavides, Patrick Castillo, Eric Choate, Emma Logan, and Ryan Rey.
Areon Flutes, a professional flute chamber music ensemble, provides audiences a fresh new outlook on traditional chamber music. Noted for innovative programming and collaborations, Areon is quickly establishing itself in the USA as a premier chamber music ensemble. The group’s performances are notable for creatively engaging its audiences with unique staging, theatrics, choreography, and using all members of the flute family.
Called the “new music impresarios of San Francisco” (Cy Musiker, KQED), the Guerrillas were founded in San Francisco in 2012 by a few unruly souls, and serve to keep their finger on the pulse of the new music scene and promote both creation and listening. They have worked with some of the best young talent in the Bay Area, and are active at the Center for New Music in San Francisco. They have commissioned and premiered over 35 new pieces from over 30 composers as well as advocated the repeat performances of new music, as both are vital.
