“Open For’m is an immersion, an encounter, a multi-dimensional experience. Callithumpian Consort focuses on a single piece of music in a free-form event made of equal parts teach-in, demonstration, free-form discussion, open rehearsal, Q and A session, pre-concert lecture, and post-concert reception. Sit next to and among the performers; experience the music, its history, challenges and beauties from the inside of the group!

It was my 3rd year to teach at SummerDayMusic at Indian Hill and I had a great time working with the six flute students in the during our “flute core” classes and coaching them in orchestra. They were a terrific group of kids to work with and did a fantastic job performing at the final concert.

Here is a link to more pictures from the festival.

My performance and teaching schedule has been quiet since March when Greg and I welcomed a beautiful girl into our lives! Abigail was born on March 20, 2013 and we couldn’t have asked for a sweeter baby girl. The fall is around the corner and I am looking forward to seeing my students and colleagues soon!
