Guest artist Nina Assimakopoulos will join us for a day of workshops and concerts.
“It is often difficult to maintain the interest of an audience with a recital of solo works for monophonic instrument. Assimakopoulos overcomes that hurdle by her savvy repertoire selections, collected over years of seeking outstanding new works for her instrument, and by the intensity and beauty of her playing. She has remarkable technique, and a lovely core tone that she is able to manipulate to great effect in this dazzling array of novel, even exotic, works.”
– Fanfare magazine, 2016
The day’s offerings will also include the Final round of the 8th annual RAFA Artist Competition and the Student Showcase recital featuring winners of the 2023 Review and Contest. Vendors will be on site with flutes and accessories for sale.
