(MURFREESBORO)—The seventh annual MTSU Flute Festival will be held Jan. 27, with registration beginning at 8 a.m. in the Wright Music Building lobby on the MTSU campus and concluding with a 4 p.m. concert in the Hinton Hall of the Wright Music Building.
This yearly event, coordinated by MTSU’s Deanna Little, assistant professor of flute, will feature guest flutists Erik Gratton, Ann Richards and Norma Rogers, all from the Nashville Symphony.
“I am very excited to have the Nashville Symphony flutists here,” Little said. “They will each bring a different element of flute pedagogy to the participants at the festival.”
Each guest artist will teach a master class. These will include piccolo, solo flute repertoire and orchestral excerpts.
“The program they will be performing will offer a wonderful variety from piccolo all the way down to bass flute,” Little commented.
The festival will also feature a session on spontaneous expression, competitions for high school and junior-level performers, as well as a few exhibits.
The final rounds of the high school and junior-level competitions, which are open to the public, will be held from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Winners will be presented at the evening concert with other student flutists and area professionals.
Admission for the flute festival is $15 to register for the day as a participating flutist. The general public may register as a guest for one or all of the public concerts and public competitions for a one-time charge of $5.
