The full length recording of my Last Rose of Summer flute quartet, which I arranged and recorded during the 2020 Stay at Home Order in Washington State. The original music is Variations sur l’Air Irelandais: The Last Rose of Summer, Op. 105, written for flute and piano by Friedrich Kuhlau. You can stream and download these recordings at my bandcamp site.

Flute Fantasy

In February 2023 I was invited by the Northwest Greig Society to play six concerts of Norwegian music with fantastic colleagues Laura Loge and Steven Luksan in a presentation they titled Flute Fantasy. Click here to hear us perform Øistein Sommerfeldt’s hauntingly beautiful Hildring i speil (Mirage in the Mirror) on NPR Live Sessions.
