The Guild is delighted to open the season at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 22, 2014, with flutist Jeffery Zook and guitarist Bret Hoag, who will present a collection of repertoire from around the world in a concert titled Toward the Sea. Jeff and Bret, who began their collaboration in 2010, have performed throughout the midwest to critical acclaim. As Chris Felcyn from Detroit’s WRCJ has said about this Duo: “It’s astonishing to hear so much music come out of such a small ensemble, but then you realize the caliber of the musicians you’re listening to with Bret Hoag and Jeff Zook, and you just start smiling.” Come hear this duo as they explore fresh new sounds for flute and guitar. In addition to performing new music for flute and guitar, Jeff and Bret are both on faculty of Oakland University, where they hope to inspire the next generation of chamber musicians. The concert is generously sponsored by Ms. Cecilia Benner, and the elegant dessert table is sponsored by UM-Dearborn Chancellor Daniel Little and Dr. Bernadette Lintz.
