Greetings, Global Flute Studio Students, Friends, and Families,

If you've been wondering what your flute teacher sounds like in the full setting of concert hall, accompaniment, and audience, now is your chance to find out.  I'll be performing a recital (actually, I'll be performing it TWICE) in the month of March.

The first performance is the New Jersey friends and family special preview.  It takes place at Allwood Community Church, 100 Chelsea Road, in Clifton, NJ. That's on Saturday, March 18th, at 3:00 pm, and admission is FREE!  All ages are welcome, of course.

The second performance (of the same program) will take place at Elebash Recital Hall at the CUNY Graduate Center, 365 5th Avenue (diagonally across from the Empire State Building), NYC.  This is on Wednesday evening, March 29th, at 7:30 pm.  Admission is also free here, and this performance will be recorded.  

I will be joined by the outstanding Barry Spatz on piano.  I'll be performing on silver flute on all works except the "Sylvia Scherzo" (that's piccolo).

Here is the program:

Minuet and Dance of the Blesses Spirits - Christoph Willibald Gluck

From Etudes de Salon - Johannes Donjon

     No. 1 - Elegie - Etude

Sonatine - Henri Dutilleux

                        Intermission

Sylvia Scherzo  - Charles Le Thiere

Carnaval de Venise (Carnival of Venice) - Paul Agricole Genin

Um a Zero - Pixinguinha

I Remember Clifford - Benny Golson
