Flute Society of Kentucky

Hello everyone,

As we are enjoying the heat of summer, the FSK is thinking about and looking to the 2011 KY Flute Festival. It will be a celebration of 11 years of the FSK!! We hope that you will make plans to join us at the Festival. Leone Buyse, Professor of Flute at Rice University's Shepherd School of Music, will be our guest artist! You will have the opportunity to hear her perform and learn from her teaching during the Festival. You also
will have the opportunity to perform for her in the master class. You can't miss this! In addition to Ms. Buyse's activities, there will be many other events during the Festival! There will be clinics about flute playing or teaching, concerts, a great Exhibit Hall with flutes and flute-related items, and many other fun things to experience!! All of the events that are a part of the Festival are included in the registration fee.

There will also be competitions that are a part of the Festival! The details will be available soon, but to help build the excitement and your feeling of anticipation...there will be an extra competition again this year: an Orchestral Excerpt Competition! The FSK is very excited to offer this opportunity during this year's Festival and we look forward to hearing everyone's entries!

How can you find out more about the Festival? Simply click on the link "2011 KY Flute Festival." Our website will continue to be updated as more details are finalized, so check back often. Be sure to pay special attention to the deadlines for each event you would like to apply for - they are all different. There is also a pre-registration deadline for the Festival - you can save money by pre-registering!

Keep Practicing and Enjoy Your Summer!

Take care,
Lisa McArthur, President
