Senza Misura
Catherine LeGrand, flute
Kenneth Grigg, piano
Catherine LeGrand and Kenneth Grigg have been performing together
since 1991; their concerts have been described as “buoyant,”
“scintillating” and “transcendent.” Their name, Senza Misura,
is a play on words meaning “without measure; beyond compare” and
“without constraint; freely.”
While performing virtually all standard repertoire for flute and
piano, Senza Misura delights in music of lesser-known
composers and in creating eclectic and specialized concert programs.
The artists expand the compass of their recitals by the inclusion of
works from the rich solo repertoires for their respective
instruments. Mr. Grigg’s arrangements and transcriptions of folk and
popular music add another dimension to Senza Misura’s
concerts. More About Senza

Senza Misura
has performed on concert series and at colleges and
universities across the South and Midwest. Appearances include
Kerrville Performing Arts Society and the Foundation for Modern
Music in Houston. Senza Misura has also been recorded and broadcast
by KUHF Radio in Houston.
The performers enjoy speaking to their audiences during their
concerts, informally or in traditional lecture-recital format.
Guest Artist Concerts
The artists frequently join with guest musicians to form larger
chamber ensembles and feel that chamber music in intimate venues --
house concerts soirees, and musicales --is the ultimate listening
experience.
Ms. LeGrand and Mr. Grigg are also available for workshops on
musical collaboration, individual masterclasses, and solo recitals.
“Catherine LeGrand is an inspiring artist who cares about people and
ideas. She believes in making free and expressive music while
retaining the essential elements of technique and the composer's
intent. Some of the most distinctive characteristics of her playing
are fluidity, purity of tone, thoughtful interpretation, and
complete lack of tension. She is a uniquely gifted musician...”
-Laura Philbrick, student and private flute teacher
“Catherine's masterful and impassioned playing has many times graced
our worship services. Her music has created an atmosphere both
aesthetically and spiritually moving, and our congregation is always
grateful for her presence!” -
Dan Smith, Music Director
“Catherine LeGrand embodies the very best in music professionalism.
As flutist, Catherine has a large round sound, capable of strong
contrasts combined with a powerful technique.
As a colleague, she displays extraordinary sensitivity in matching
other players, working affably in an orchestral setting to get the
very best results possible.
As flute concerto soloist with orchestra Catherine is totally
reliable; her performance with me of the Stamitz Flute Concerto in G
major in 2005 with the Superior Festival Orchestra was note perfect,
and demonstrated a sovereign command of her instrument and the
stylistic characteristics of Stamitz's music. She is at home and
conversant with a wide range of artistic styles and attitudes,
including 20th and 21st century works. Catherine LeGrand is an
impressive artist. Any chance to engage Catherine for a clinic or
especially a solo performance should not be missed.” -
Craig Randal Johnson, Conductor, Minneapolis, MN |
