Peter and the Wolf with WindSync

The Flonzaley Resident Ensemble affords an individual artist or an ensemble of musicians a week-long residency at The Sembrich with the opportunity to use the studio freely to rehearse and perform. The residency was established in tribute to the Flonzaley Quartet, founded by arts patron and Sembrich colleague Edward de Coppet in 1903. Mr. de Coppet opened his Swiss estate to the artists each summer and established the quartet on the principle that its members would never accept outside engagements or take on students. The musicians devoted themselves solely to the purpose of perfecting their art. It was with that lofty goal in mind that The Sembrich invited the Hyperion Quartet as our first-ever quartet-in-residence in 2010. Other recipients of the Flonzaley Residency include the Brooklyn Art Song Society, the Villalobos Brothers, the Bridge and Wolak accordion and clarinet duo and composer Jesse Gelaznik.
