Tucson Flute Club Spring Concert: Nature's Stories
Tucson Flute Club presents the Southern Arizona Flute Orchestra in concert on Friday, March 13, at 7:30 p.m. at St. Philip’s In The Hills Episcopal Church (in the Church). The concert, titled “Nature's Stories,” will feature programmatic music exploring nature and the stories we tell through it. Each piece will paint an image of the natural world. Particularly noteworthy are For Love of Swans, written in memory of Tucson Flute Club's founder Philip Swanson, and Southwestern Sketches, which was written for Tucson Flute Club and premiered on our 50th Anniversary concert in 2020. The group will be conducted by Jack Schmidgall, Music Director. The public is warmly invited. Admission is free, with donations appreciated.
The instrumentation for the concert will include multiple sizes of flutes — piccolo, C flute, alto flute, bass flute, contrabass flute, and sub-contrabass flute — encompassing six octaves and producing a surprising, richly textured sound.
St. Philip's is located at 4440 North Campbell Avenue (at River Road, northeast corner). There is ample parking under the solar panels on the east side or in the north parking lot. Several accessible parking spaces are located just south of the Church.
Tucson Flute Club was founded in 1970 by the late Philip Swanson, then professor of flute at UA. The membership includes both amateur and professional flutists, as well as those interested in the flute, including five of the original founding members. The objectives of this 501(c)3 organization are to enable flutists to meet for ensemble playing for their own enjoyment; to broaden the knowledge of flute literature by providing performing opportunities for members and guest artists; and to increase knowledge of the flute through lectures, discussions, and related activities.
