POTSDAM -- The SUNY Potsdam Crane School of Music will host a free concert featuring Janus, a flute, viola and harp trio, Tuesday, April 23 at 7:30 p.m. in Snell Music Theater.

The performance will include works by professor Gregory Wanamaker, Paul Lansky and Claude Debussy.

Janus, a Brooklyn-based ensemble, will be in residence at SUNY Potsdam from April 22 and 23. They will read works by student composers, coach student chamber ensembles and discuss current trends in performance.

Comprised of violist Beth Meyers, flutist Amanda Baker and harpist Nuiko Wadden, Janus was formed in 2002 with the goal of presenting and creating a new repertoire for flute, viola and harp.

Named after Janus, the Roman god whose double-faced image peers into the past and future, the trio maintains the established tradition for the instrumentation while breaking new ground into unexplored sonic frontiers.

Janus has been featured at the Symphony Space, (le) Poisson Rouge, Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall and at the Look and Listen Festival.

Other group credits include performances at the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Spark Festival in Minneapolis, the Columbus Art Museum and the Dame Myra Hess Recital Series in Chicago.

Janus is a New Amsterdam Records artist and can be heard on their debut release "I am not." They are also featured on "Gravity and Air," a release from fellow New Amsterdam Records artist, Andrew McKenna Lee.
