Noon Concerts at Trinity Santa Barbara opens its Fall 2024 season, 12:15-12:45 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 5, with Music for Flute, Bassoon and Harp at 1500 State St.

The concert features Heather Clark on flute, William Wood on bassoon, and Marcia Dickstein on harp.

Clark and Dickstein will perform Nino Rota’s “Sonata for Harp and Flute” (1937). They will be joined Mr. Wood  for Craig Phillips’ “Suite for Flute, Bassoon and Harp” (1999).

Rota (1911-79) is best known as a film composer collaborating with Frederic Felleni (“La Dolce Vita,” “8½,” “Romeo and Juliet”) and Francis Ford Coppola (“Godfather” series).

Phillips is an American composer and organist who is the director of music at All Saints’ Church, Beverly Hills. His choral and organ music is heard in churches and cathedrals across the U.S.; his concert works have been performed throughout North America, Europe and Asia.

Clark is principal flute of the Los Angeles Opera Orchestra, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, Pasadena Symphony Orchestra, and Long Beach Symphony Orchestra.

She has performed on some 500 film and television soundtracks, often as principal flutist, for such noted composers as John Williams, Randy Newman, Hans Zimmer and Danny Elfman.

A world-renowned harpist, Dickstein  has been enticing new audiences to harp in chamber music and solo with orchestra, and inspiring composers to write new works for harp in classical and jazz genres.

Founder/artistic director of The Debussy Trio, Dickstein has performed in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Scandinavia and Japan, over NPR radio, PBS, and other TV channels.

Wood is a member of the Los Angeles Opera Orchestra, New West Symphony, Riverside Philharmonic, and Los Angeles Master Chorale Sinfonia Orchestra.

An avid chamber music performer, he is the artistic director/founder of Noon Concerts at Trinity Santa Barbara.

Admission to the noon concerts is free, although goodwill tax-deductible donations are accepted at the door.
