It is a non-profit 1 day workshop and concert for all interested flute players who are at a strong intermediate or above level of playing ability. It is hosted by Grace Notes Flute Choir Inc. of Maryville, Tennessee. The choir hosted a similar workshop in 2004 in Maryville with 35 flutists in attendance. The response to the event was overwhelmingly positive and all agreed we should do it again in the future. The concert in 2004 was a musically excellent and moving experience for musicians and audience alike. This year, donations recieved at our concluding free public concert will go to benefit the Joy of Music School in Knoxville, TN. Festival musicians will start the day sight reading in 2 different sessions, attend a masterclass, enjoy a catered light dinner and later perform with the flute orchestra in a free concert for the public at 7:00pm. The orchestra will feature a range of instruments including the C flute, piccolo, alto, bass and contra bass flute. The orchestra will be under the shared direction of Shelley Binder from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and Roger Martin of Tennessee Technological University, Cookeville. |
