Tucson Flute Club presents the Southern Arizona Flute Orchestra in concert on Sunday, March 24, at 2 p.m. at St. Philip’s In The Hills Episcopal Church (in the Church). The concert, titled “A Spring Showcase,” will feature new and familiar music that will make you smile, sigh, and sing — by composers such as Gershwin, Glière, Brahms, Piazolla, and Leroy Anderson’s perennial favorite “The Typewriter.” The group performs under the baton of Jack Schmidgall. The public is warmly invited. Admission is free, with donations appreciated.

The instrumentation for the concert will include multiple sizes of flutes — piccolo, C flute, alto flute, bass flute, contrabass flute, and sub-contrabass flute — encompassing six octaves and producing a surprising, richly textured sound.

St. Philip’s is located at 4440 North Campbell Avenue (at River Road, northeast corner). There is ample parking under the solar panels on the east side or in the north parking lot. Several accessible parking spaces are located just south of the Church.

Tucson Flute Club was founded in 1970 by the late Philip Swanson, then professor of flute at UA. The membership includes both amateur and professional flutists, as well as those interested in the flute, including five of the original founding members. The objectives of this 501(c)3 organization are to enable flutists to meet for ensemble playing for their own enjoyment; to broaden the knowledge of flute literature by providing performing opportunities for members and guest artists; and to increase knowledge of the flute through lectures, discussions, and related activities. Tucson Flute Club is supported in part by a grant from The Arts Foundation for Tucson and Southern Arizona.
