University of South Alabama Department of Music

Opening the 2024-2025 USA Musical Arts Concert Series, flutist Andra Bohnet, Professor of Music, will present her Faculty Recital on Tuesday, September 3, at 7:30 p.m. in the Laidlaw Performing Arts Center Recital Hall. The recital will feature two vastly different significant works – Franz Schubert’s Introduction and Variations on a Theme “Ihr Bümlein Alle,” op. 160 for flute and piano and David Ott’s Concerto for Alto Flute and Strings. The Schubert is a tour de force for both the flutist and pianist. Dr. Robert Holm, who will be playing piano said, “This is a piece that has been on my bucket list for a long time,” and Dr. Bohnet replied, “the piano part is so challenging nobody has ever wanted to play it before,” thus the occasion for performance! In the line of “and now for something completely different,” Bohnet will perform Ott’s Concerto for Alto Flute with Ott, the composer, conducting Bohnet and a small string ensemble. “It is so exciting to be performing a work like this under the baton of the composer!” said Bohnet, “and I just love playing the alto flute!”
