author of Cezanne’s Quarry, animates her canvas with many vivid period details. Francophiles, history buffs and art lovers will find much to savor!
Barbara Corrado Pope is Professor Emerita of Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Oregon.

Friday, April 16 at 6:30p.m at the Alliance Française
Melia Repko-Schmauk received her Masters degree from New England Conservatory. While in Boston, she premiered and recorded works by John Harbison,
Gardiner Read, Roy Harris, Michael Colgrass and Malcom Peyton. Composers
Elliot Carter, Earl Kim and Gunther Schuller have coached her in performances
of their works. Melia now resides in Dresher, PA. She has performed extensively
throughout the Greater Philadelphia area, including with the Lancaster Symphony
and the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia.
Frances Tate, a long-time student of the AF, performs in the Philadelphia area.
She is currently second flutist with the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, piccolo
with the Lancaster Symphony, and coprincipal flute with the Endless Mountains
Music Festival. She has performed with the Baltimore Symphony, Philly Pops, Pennsylvania Ballet Orchestra, and the Delaware, Annapolis, Knoxville and Richmond
Symphonies. In 2002 she was second place winner in the National Flute Association’s
Piccolo Artist Competition. Frances has a Master’s from the Peabody Conservatory.
The flute/harp duo is a French creation, and this beautiful combination is truly
given its most expressive voice through the works of French composers. We plan
to present a program entirely from France, including excerpts from the opera Carmen by Georges Bizet, “Piece en forme de Habanera” by Maurice Ravel, “Narthex”
by Bernard Andres, “Entr’acte” by Jacques Ibert, and Claude Debussy’s Sonate for

The Allianc��������������������
e Française invites you

to join
�������������������������������������������������������������������
the second of a series of explorations of French provinces as “terroir.”
����������� The
����
term “terroir” considers land as an organism whose characteristics and products are intimately linked to the nature of its
soil and the crafts of its people. A “terroir” appeals to your senses. It is a harmony of tastes, smells, colors, sounds, and
feelings that are unique, exclusive and singular.
Our second exploration will be “En pays cathare.”
