Noted Flutist Peter H. Bloom to Perform Premieres by Mark Harvey, Karl Henning and David Leone in Boston, Masterworks by Debussy and Ravel in Des Moines and Lisle, IL

Boston, MA, October 26, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Flutist Peter H. Bloom, whose playing has been called “a revelation for unforced sweetness and strength” (The Boston Globe), continues his wide-ranging concert performances in October and November, including premieres by American composers Mark Harvey, Karl Henning, David Leone, as well as chamber works by Debussy, Ravel, Thea Musgrave and others, and a performance with the inventive FiLmprov ensemble featuring live improvisation by the legendary Aardvark Jazz Orchestra (43rd season) to the animated films of Kate Matson. Mr. Bloom will also appear as special guest with famed saxophonist Charles Neville in a benefit concert for Nepal earthquake relief. Peter H. Bloom has been praised by Jazz Improv for “exquisite melody… the improvisations growing organically out of the theme” while ArtsFuse wrote, “His solos on flute and amplified flute are always highlights of a performance.” Bloom has performed with the internationally acclaimed Aardvark Jazz Orchestra for almost 40 years. Peter H. Bloom is managed by Americas Musicworks.
