Mickey Mouse meets Troy

Wow! What a week! Last Monday I performed a recital and masterclass at Troy University in Alabama and the following weekend I taught and performed at the Florida Flute Fair in Orlando. Kudos to Hui-Ting, my accompanist and Tammy Phillips who joined me for the concert at FFF. Things went well.

Here was my program:

"Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something FSU"

8 Pieces for the Musical Clock by Haydn
Sonata (1975) by Harold Schiffman
Aria by Ernst von Dohnanyi
Le Merle Noir by Messiaen
Maya by Ian Clarke
Fantasy, Op. 79 (2 flutes) by Faure

RTP was kind enough to take some pictures during the performance and masterclass in Orlando.
Here I am working with 6th grader, Roy Xiao at the Junior Masterclass. I talked to him about taking full breaths every time he plays and bringing out the dynamics in his solo.

Here I am working with a talented 8th grade flutist, Alex Ishov, who performed the Minuet and Dance from the Blessed Spirits by Gluck.
