The Greenbrook Ensemble
The Greenbrook Ensemble is a flute, saxophone and piano trio based in Nashville, TN. Founded (as Duo Elegancia) in summer 2007 by Paula Van Goes and Jessica Dunnavant, the ensemble has always been devoted to increasing the amount and quality of music available for flute and saxophone. They are bound by a love of music from Brazil. From their debut performance at the 2008 Florida Flute Fair, where they premiered both Liduino Pitombeira's Impressoes Sobrais and Halim El-Dabh's Two Pharaohnic Themes, they have garnered the respect of audiences across the country. Additional performances include recitals at Florida State University, Middle Tennessee State University and Nicholls State University, and festival performances at the North American Saxophone Alliance's Region VI Conference, the International Navy Band Saxophone Symposium, Flute Festival Mid-South, and the headliner recital at the Southern Chapter Conference of the
American Musicological Society.
They have also appeared on WPLN's Live in Studio C and premiered several other pieces, including Jason Emerson's Job 39:5 and Ingrid Stoelzel's There are Things to be Said, which was originally composed for flute and oboe but was arranged for flute and soprano saxophone by the composer. The Greenbrook Ensemble has commissioned another piece from Stoelzel, For the Time Being,
as well as a concerto for flute, saxophone and wind ensemble from Emerson. Acclaimed pianist R. Timothy McReynolds joined the ensemble in early 2010.
