NOVA BRILLIANTE

The combination of flute and harp has captivated listeners for centuries.  Bringing together two of the most ancient instruments, flutist Patricia Creighton and harpist Karen Rokos formed NOVA BRILLIANTE to be able to create soundscapes for listeners that would not only be very pleasing and provocative, but also healing.  Both artists have fully professional and long-standing orchestral and chamber careers. Their recent disc “Melodies of Love” was a 2008 ECMA Best Classical Album nominee, and their concerts are received enthusiastically. NOVA BRILLIANTE  presents many different styles of music, from renaissance through baroque, classical, latin, very modern, and even improvisation, depending upon the needs of the concert presenter. Their presentation is artful, seamless and totally engaging.Website url:  www.novabrilliante.com
