15 June 2010
Dear BFS Friends,
I would like to congratulate all those of you who took part in the BFS/RSAMD MINI FLUTE FESTIVAL last week. I have received some very good accounts of this inaugural milestone event. Special thanks go to Jacques Zoon, Ruth Morley and Katherine Bryan for their performances and teaching. I would also like to extend my deep gratitude to council members Alastair Learmont, Mike MacMahon and Anna Munks for organizing the event, in conjunction with the Wind Department at RSAMD. I look forward to many more inspired events, which will spread the energy and opportunities of the BFS in the regions.
Looking ahead to Autumn, you might like to start planning for two important events:
28-29 OCTOBER
Our second mini-festival will be taking place at Trinity College of Music, London. The headlining artists will be Dutch Flautist/Composer Wil Offermans and Emer McDonough. Further details will follow in due course.
5pm, 31 OCTOBER
The inaugural concert in our brand new recital series 'BFS/RAM PREMIER FLAUTIST SERIES' will be given by French flautist Jean Ferrandis. The recital will be followed by a question/answer session with the audience. This exciting new concert series will feature three recitals annually. Further details will be announced in due course.
The build-up towards the BFS CONVENTION 2010 is hotting up now...I look forward to meeting you there.
Wissam Boustany
