Tucson Flute Club Presents Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice

The Tucson Flute Club will present "Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice" on Sunday, October 20, at 3:00 p.m. at St. Mark's United Methodist Church (in the Sanctuary). The concert will feature the Southern Arizona Flute Orchestra performing seasonal music under the baton of Jack Schmidgall, Music Director. Autumn-themed music will include Something the Wind Forgot (Jiro Chiaki), Marionette (Sonoko Fujii), Danse Macabre (Camille St.-Saens), School Days (arr. Ricky Lombardo), and Masques (Anne McGinty), as well as Second Waltz from Jazz Suite No. 2 (Dmitri Shostakovich) and Hungarian Dance No. 5 (Johannes Brahms). The public is warmly invited. Admission is free, with donations appreciated. The instrumentation for the concert will include six sizes of flutes - piccolo, C flute, alto flute, bass flute, contrabass flute, and sub-contrabass flute - encompassing seven octaves and producing a surprising, richly textured sound. St. Mark's is located at 1431 W Magee Road (at La Cañada, southwest corner). There are entrances from both Magee and La Cañada with ample parking surrounding the church. The north parking lot is closest to the Sanctuary and includes handicapped parking. 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. For more information see tucsonfluteclub.org.
