Hot Ticket: Artful music

By JOHN FLEMING
Published July 22, 2004


Flutist Gary Schocker and guitarist Jason Vieaux have been playing together for about six years. The duo has become a regular attraction in the summer music series at the Museum of Fine Arts. "When we play together, I feel like I don't ever have to think about anything, and he feels the same way," Schocker said before one of their appearances. "It feels a lot like jazz. It feels very improvised and easy. It's not a studious classical event."

Schocker and Vieaux return to the St. Petersburg museum with a program that includes Johann Kaspar Mertz's Hungarian Fantasy, a sonata by Jean Marie LeClair, selections from Astor Piazzolla's L'Histoire du Tango and other works. The concert is at 2 p.m. Sunday in the Marly Room. $8, $15. (727) 896-2667, ext. 210.
