Sarah Carrier, flute
Andrea Christie, piano

Sarah Carrier is an award-winning flutist who has achieved recognition as a performer and educator. Praised by the New York Times for combining “thoughtful musicality with virtuosity in her alternately energetic and delicate account of a flute line laden with light multiphonics

and unusual timbres,” she brings energy, emotion, and vigor to her performances while exploring the instrument’s sonic potential. A versatile player, Sarah performs traditional classical, contemporary, and popular music in solo, chamber, and orchestral settings. Over the last 10 years, her highly acclaimed chamber group, Parhelion Trio, has left an indelible mark in the world of flute, clarinet, and piano trio ensembles through high caliber performances and adventurous collaborations with leading composers. Together, they have performed around the globe, attended numerous residencies, and commissioned countless new works. Sarah resides in Wayne, New Jersey (where she can still get a decent bagel and slice). Her vibrant flute studio includes students of all ages, levels, and aspirations. Sarah has a growing online audience where she loves to share her knowledge of the flute in a way that is relatable, informative, and compassionate.

Sarah holds a D.M.A. from The Graduate Center, CUNY, an M.M. from New York University, and a B.M. from California State University, Long Beach (Bob Cole Conservatory of Music). Previously, Sarah taught Postmodern Music and Music Appreciation at St. Joseph's University in Brooklyn. She serves as the Vice President of the New Jersey Flute Society.

Canadian pianist Andrea Christie is a versatile performing artist with a flair for late-romantic works and a passion for contemporary music. Equally at home as soloist and chamber musician, she is the pianist of the NYC-based Parhelion Trio, an all-female ensemble praised by The Strad Magazine for their “effervescent” playing. Recent appearances include performances at Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavík, The Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen, and at New York City's leading performance venues including Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Symphony Space, and National Sawdust. Recent collaborations include performances/projects with composer vocalistLisa Bielawa and members of Eighth Blackbird, Wet Ink, and The Knights ensembles. A native of Victoria, Canada, Andrea has been playing piano since the age of four. Her formal training began at the Victoria Conservatory of Music, where she made her solo orchestral debut at age 14, performing Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto. Andrea Christie received her Doctor of Musical Arts and Master of Music degrees from SUNY Stony Brook and completed her Bachelor of Music at the University of British Columbia. Her principal teachers include Christina Dahl, Jane Coop, and Germán Diez. As a recipient of numerous scholarships and fellowships, Andrea has performed in residencies and summer festivals across North America and Europe including Tanglewood, the Mozarteum, Academy Prag-Wien-Budapest, Avaloch Farm Institute, International Festival of Contemporary Music at Mannes, Icicle Creek Chamber Music Institute, Vancouver International Song Institute, Orford Academy, and Morningside Music Bridge. As an educator, Dr. Christie serves as Adjunct Professor of Keyboard Studies at Adelphi University, and as a Lecturer of Contemporary Performance Practice at Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. Dr. Christie has previously served on the piano faculties at Stony Brook University’s Pre-College Division, Greenwich House Music School, and Herald Music School.

WP Presents! • Brian Culbertson – The Trilogy Tour

March 31, 2023 8:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Shea Center for Performing Arts

Over the course of crafting a 25-album catalog and architecting nearly 40 Billboard No. 1 singles as a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer, Brian Culbertson has charted his own unique course in music. Label him jazz and he makes a funk record. Call him an R&B artist and he drops an acoustic jazz trio collection. Brand him pop and he creates a 32-minute New Age opus. And you’d be hard pressed to name another instrumentalist of his ilk who can mount an elaborately designed concert production that will keep him on the road for three consecutive months.

Culbertson burst onto the scene in 1994 with a chart-topping album that he recorded in his college apartment featuring keyboard-led contemporary jazz tracks. “Long Night Out” landed him a lengthy record deal and signaled that a star was born.

Flash forward to present day, Culbertson composed thirty songs that populate the three albums in “The Trilogy” that describes the three-part arc of a long-term relationship: the hot and steamy “falling in love” phase, the rocky middle when perhaps they even break up for a bit, and the couple reunites to live “happily ever after” phase. The Trilogy Tour will feature a mix of songs from The Trilogy Albums, as well as the greatest hits from Brian Culbertson’s catalog.

“Hearing the three albums in a row provides the context. All the songs on ‘Red’ (October 2021) were clearly about passion and love. ‘Blue’ (January 2022) is melancholy and sad songs, breakup songs and ‘losing people’ songs. Once you get to part three, ‘White’ (May 2022) is all about songs that have an uplifting feel to them. Stylistically, they all feel similar even though they are emotionally broad” said Culbertson.

Possessing style, panache and a savvy business mind capable of moving the needle in music and beyond, Culbertson founded and curates the annual Napa Valley and Chicago Jazz Getaways, which have attracted guests from all over the globe to experience his premier events.

Whether you’re listening to music from “The Trilogy” on record or live in concert, you’re hearing an eclectic, entertaining and engaging set from an artist at the peak of his power.
