So excited to have Cheryl Sears join me for flute duets at the Studio Recital next weekend!  Telemann and Doppler are on tap following the student performances, at Franke Tobey Jones in Tacoma.

Fun fact: Composer-flutists Franz and Karl Doppler toured as a flute duo in the mid-1800’s, with left-handed Karl playing his flute “backwards” at times to create a mirror image with his brother!  We are just being silly here—but we will play some Doppler, fortunately still lots of fun on flutes played in the conventional orientation!

I’m happy to announce another Fall Flute Recital:

Saturday, October 12, 2013 – 7:30 pm

Trinity Parish Church in First Hill

609 8th Ave. Seattle, WA

Dusting off some old favorites including Bach and Poulenc Sonatas with piano, Griffes Poem, reprising The Jet Whistle flute-cello duet, and trying some crazy modern techniques in a short piece by Ian Clarke (which may remind you of Ian Anderson…) called Zoom Tube.

Kristine Anderson joins me on piano, Chris Worswick on cello.

Admission: $15 suggested donation.

Free parking in the Skyline garage in marked Trinity spaces.

If you can’t make this one (or hey, if you want to hear it again), we’ll be playing the program again Sunday, Oct 27 at Magnolia United Church of Christ (see post).
