Flutists are invited to join the Vancouver Island Symphony’s flute choir during its annual community day event.
The symphony’s Community Day is April 20 at the Port Theatre. The organization commissioned a new piece by Jocelyn Morlock for principal flutist, Paolo Bortolussi. The symphony is celebrating by inviting flute players from the community to play in a flute choir led by Bortolussi and Cindy Speelman.
Flute choir rehearsals are Friday (April 12) 5:30-7:30 p.m. and Saturday (April 13) 1-3 p.m.
An optional master class with Bortolussi is Saturday 3:30-5:30 p.m.
Registration is $25, which will go toward the symphony’s education and outreach programs. The optional master class on April 13 is an additional $25.
People who join the flute choir can also purchase a special discounted ticket to hear Bortolussi play during the symphony’s Birds of a Feather concert April 20 at 7:30 p.m.
The flute choir project is a partnership between the symphony and Nanaimo Conservatory of Music.
