Woodwinds

For two days in March 2017, flutists young and old converged on ̽»¨ÊÓƵ for the Once a Flutist Festival. Including master classes with Sir James and Lady Jeanne Galway, panels and recitals, the event was a reminder that if you’re once a flutist… you’re always a flutist.

As the Boulder community benefits from the Artist Series' concerts, students at the College of Music enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime experience of seeing, learning from—even talking shop with—their idols.

In our final Faculty Tuesday recital of the season, Christina Jennings performs as part of the Once a Flutist festival in a program celebrating the diversity and community of the oldest instrument on Earth.

Nearly a year after he found out his saxophone quartet "The Mechanics" was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Music, CU composer Carter Pann is helping the College of Music's graduate quartet prepare the piece for its Colorado premiere.

The program is set for the 31st Bruce Ekstrand Memorial Graduate Student Competition at the College of Music.

Scheduled for March 21 and 22, the Once a Flutist festival invites flutists from around the region to the Boulder campus for an immersion in the technique, diversity and spirit of the oldest instrument on Earth.

The Woodwind faculty continue our Faculty Tuesday series on Tuesday, Oct. 25. "Woodwinds in Evening" features works by Camille Saint-Saëns, Jean Françaix and Charles Gounod.

On Monday evening, Nov. 7, music at ̽»¨ÊÓƵ will be well represented on the East Coast when the College of Music puts on a showcase concert at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall.

Daniel Silver and friends present Messiaen's "The Quartet for the End of Time" at the next Faculty Tuesday concert on Oct. 4.

Bassoonist Yoshi Ishikawa presents works by Bill Douglas, Robert Spillman, Willard Elliott and Jean Françaix.
