Jonathan Pasternack conducts the University Symphony in a program of works by Tchaikovsky, Frank, and Revueltas. Program selections include Symphony No. 5, by Piotr Tchaikovsky; Illapa, by Gabriela Lena Frank (featuring faculty artist Donna Shin, flute); and Sensemayá, by Silvestre Revueltas.
Donna Shin will be performing Gabriela Lena Frank's Illapa: Tone Poem for Flute and Orchestra.
The Seattle Flute Society Flute Choir is delighted to announce that Seattle Flute Society Board Member, Matt Johnston, recently donated an alto flute for the choir's use. The 30-member flute choir is largely comprised of C flutes and this wonderful donation will allow players in the ensemble who don't have access to an alto flute the opportunity to expand their musical skills as well as help to grow the choir's lower flute section.
Matt currently serves on the Seattle Flute Society board as the historian and music librarian. He is a multi-talented and multi-instrumental professional musician who performs in orchestras, ensembles, and theatrical productions throughout Puget Sound, and is also active as an arranger, teacher, and church music director.
The Flute Choir was thrilled to receive this generous gift. On behalf of all the choir's members, thank you Matt!
Membership Survey
The Seattle Flute Society has put together an online survey for our members and we would really appreciate your participation! We value your opinion and would love your input so we can continue to improve as an organization. This link will take you to a 10 question survey that will take less than 10 minutes to complete:
The general aim and purposes of the Society shall be to cultivate, promote, foster, sponsor, and develop among its members and the general public the appreciation of the flute as a musical instrument; to develop and further the quality of the instrument itself, and of its related components; to encourage the composition of music for the flute; and to improve the quality of performance flutists.
