At age 20, flutist Maron Khoury became the youngest musician to join the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. Much in demand as a soloist, he has made music with many notable conductors including James Levine, Riccardo Muti, Simon Rattle, Christoph Eschenbach and Daniel Barenboim. He is joined at the piano by Dimitri Dover. This concert, the second of two parts, explores music of the Romantic era including the Spring Song of Felix Mendelssohn, Air de Ballet of Camille Saint Saens, and the Faure Pavane.
Dimitri Dover joined the music staff of The Metropolitan Opera in 2016. A longtime New York resident, he has performed a broad spectrum of repertoire as soloist and collaborator, most recently in venues such as New York’s Alice Tully Hall, Merkin Hall, Zankel Hall, Weill Recital Hall, Koch Theater, Symphony Space, and Park Avenue Armory, as well as Zipper Hall (Los Angeles) and Segerstrom Hall (Orange County), and in series such as American Opera Projects, Brooklyn Art Song Society, Chelsea Music Festival, Cutting Edge Concerts, Joy in Singing, Met Opera Rising Stars, Met Orchestra Chamber Ensemble, North Shore Pro Musica, and The Song Continues. He holds degrees from Harvard University, Peabody Conservatory, and The Juilliard School (DMA), where he has also served as guest coach, staff pianist, and Collaborative Piano department coordinator.
This concert is made possible, in part, through the generous support of Ridgeway Garden Center, White Plains, and Lago Ristorante, West Harrison.
