Coffeehouse at the Walton Theatre Featuring Hutchinson & Garitselova April 19

WALTON – Music on the Delaware is pleased to present a flute and cello duo at its April 19, 2026, Coffeehouse at the Theatre. Flutist Emily Hutchinson will be joined by cellist Svetlana Garitselova in this Sunday evening 6:00 p.m. concert in the Andrea Retz Paternoster room of the Walton Theatre.

The concert will be an evening of chamber music for flute and cello from a variety of musical styles and time periods. The program promises something for everyone, including a Latina reimagining of Bach's famous flute Partita; a cello suite by J.S. Bach; an instrumental setting of poetry by Robert Frost; and the thrilling "Jet Whistle" by Villa-Lobos.
