Kenton Youngstrom
A free community afternoon concert will be held at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 17, at Brentwood Presbyterian Church, 12000 San Vicente Blvd. Los Angeles 90049. This concert is hosted by Chamber Music Palisades (CMP) and reservations are not needed.

There are duets for flute and guitar by French, Spanish, Brazilian and Argentinian composers, including Histoire Du Tango – Bordel 1900, Café 1930 and Nightclub 1960 (Astor Piazzolla).
A piece that sounds fascinating is Wren Polka, OP.70 (Eugene Damarre), which features a piccolo and guitar.
