    An Evening of music that connects people and creates a cozy, joyful atmosphere on flute and piano:

    Antonio Vivaldi – Sonata in F Major for Flute and Continuo, RV 52
    J.S. Bach – Menuet & Badinerie from Orchestral Ste. No. 2 in B minor, BWV1067
    François Borne – Fantaisie brillante on themes from Carmen
    Benjamin Godard – Suite de trois morceaux, Op. 116
    and some surprise Ukrainian and Tatar folk songs!
    * Subject to change

    Flutist Rustam Baibikov was born in Ukraine, educated in Russia (classical conservatory in Moscow), and is rooted in Tatar culture.
    Having performed in symphony orchestras & chamber ensembles as well as having led a Tatar folk band for many years including over 700 concerts for children, he is known for "connecting heart to heart" through music and storytelling. In 2020, he moved to the U.S where he found a deep connection with open-hearted audiences. Every performance is a conversation, a moment of shared presence through sound.

    Pianist David Manley’s diverse range of musical experience includes a variety of instrumental studies (piano, harpsichord, violin, viola, & guitar) & performing styles (classical, jazz, pop, rock & musical theater). A dedicated music educator, Mr. Manley teaches at the University of Silicon Valley and has extensive experience as an accompanist, vocal coach, and music director.

    Where does this music come from?

    This program is a little musical journey through some of my favorite flute pieces — from the grace of the Baroque era to the passion and brilliance of the Romantic period.

    We’ll start with Vivaldi’s Sonata in F Major, full of warmth and light, followed by Bach’s Menuet and Badinerie, which always feels like pure joy to play — elegant, energetic, and full of life.

    Then comes Borne’s Carmen Fantasy, a whirlwind of Spanish drama and virtuosity based on Bizet’s famous opera — it’s always a crowd favorite!

    To finish, I’ll play Godard’s Suite de trois morceaux, a lyrical and emotional piece that shows the more romantic, singing side of the flute.
