Three area flute choirs will offer a musical prelude to St. Patrick’s Day with a concert from 3 to 4 p.m. Sunday, March 13, at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 822 Belvoir Ave.
The Chattanooga Area Flute Society Flute Choir will be joined by the Rome (Ga.) Flute Ensemble and the UTC Flute Ensemble to present music from the British Isles, including selections from or about Ireland, Scotland and England.
The program will feature Catherine McMichael’s “A Gaelic Offering,” Percy Grainger’s “Shepherd’s Hey,” Austin Scott’s “Scottish Flute Stomp,” a set of traditional English tunes and an arrangement of “Irish Washerwoman” from an Irish flute band.
Joining them will be Dexter Bell on string bass, Tom Lifsey on the bodhran drum and Cindy Fehd on piano. Fehd is also a flutist in the CAFS Flute Choir.
The CAFS Flute Choir is an ensemble of professional and amateur flutists from Chattanooga and North Georgia led by Chattanooga Symphony & Opera flutist Nora Kile.
The Rome group is under the direction of Vicky Drnek, and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga ensemble is directed by Dr. Ronda Ford.
