I’m excited to announce that I have joined the Flute Faculty at the Indian Hill Music School in Littleton, MA. I will be available for lessons on Thursday afternoons and will be directing the flute choir on Thursday evenings. The building is beautiful and it was great to meet so many lovely families and faculty members this past weekend at their Open House. I’m excited to be a part of this school and look forward to a great year there!
The Indian Hill Flute Choir meets Thursday evenings from 7:30-9:00 PM and is open to intermediate and advanced students! More information is available at www.indianhillmusic.org.
In my attempt to out-grow the college age furniture, I was making an effort to avoid collecting any additional Ikea furniture. This video might change my mind.
One highlight of my summer was participating in the Summer Institute for Contemporary Performance Practice at New England Conservatory. This was my third and favorite year of playing! I met some great new friends and musicians and had the opportunity to perform pieces I had been wanting to play for some time now. I had the privilege of working with Jennifer Bewerse (cello) and Kyle Blair (piano) on Kaija Saariaho’s Cendres for alto flute, cello, and piano. The piece is beautiful to listen too and perhaps my favorite of her works that include flute. Our group coalesced smoothly and had a great time working together during the week. Another high point of the week was working on Afastim, by Chaya Czernowin, the composer at Harvard University. It was enlightening to hear her speak about her musical thoughts and creative process when we performed the piece in a master class for her.
We had an impromptu photo shoot before our Flute and Cello Duo Recital this past June. The Sanctuary of the Danvers United Methodist Church is filled with beautiful stain glass windows and we were lucky enough during our warm-up time to see some beautiful light coming through the windows after a torrential rainstorm that afternoon. A few of the pictures in the gallery show us working with Charles Turner, the Music Director and Composer-in-Residence at the Church, on the premiere of his new piece for flute and cello entitled Eleven Love Songs.
All of the gallery photos are credited to the artistic and talented C.E. Courtney.

Rachel Arnold and I have been busy rehearsing for the upcoming flute and cello events. Jim Scully, the composer of Duplicitious Encounter, which we premiered in January, arranged a concert and recording session after he was awarded a Subito Composers Grant. We will record Duplicitious Encounter at the WGBH Fraser Recording Studios on Friday, August 6th. The Saturday evening concert will feature music by Jim Scully, Nolan Stolz, Elliott Carter, Kaija Saariaho, Charles Turner and others! It should be a fun evening – hope to see you there!
