Caryn Block, DMA., will present a live performance and discussion of the Impressionist period composers for the flute, their lasting contributions, and 20th-century contemporary works for solo flute influenced by this school. Through viewing art prints and listening to live flute performance of such works as Debussy's "Syrinx" based on the myth of Pan, Honegger's "Danse de la Chèvre", Jacque Ibert’s “Pièce” and two works by Caryn Block, "Dream", based on a Greek myth as depicted in a poem by Edith Wharton, and "Garden Music", based on paintings by Robert Zakanitch, along with short impressionist works for the piano, a portrait of impressionism in art and music will be painted for the audience.

Dr. Block is an accomplished Flutist, Conductor, and Music Director of the critically acclaimed Encore Chamber Players. Her award-winning music has been performed both regionally and nationally.
