Flutist

This concert of beautiful duets and trios is a celebration of friendship, community and a shared love of music.  For twelve years, Lorna, Jenny and Rhian have played together in the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. This concert will be recorded for CD and all proceeds from the recording will go towards the PSO Musicians’ Care Fund, chaired by Rhian Kenny. The mission of the Fund is to provide musical experiences to all children, regardless of the ability of their family or school district to pay. Additionally, our broader flute community will also be represented as members of Pittsburgh Flute Academy, led by Wendy Kumer, will serenade the audience on arrival.
