Flute Force, a flute quartet based in New York City, will present a recital at the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center, Thursday, Feb. 2, at 6 p.m. in the Bloch Learning and Performance Hall (200A). The event is free and open to the public.
The program is called “Five for Four” and features five new quartets written for Flute Force by American composers Richard Arnest, Elizabeth Brown, Marty Regan, Joseph Schwantner and Roger Zahab.
The piece by Marty Regan, “Poem in December” is scored for Shakuhachi, two C flutes and alto flute. The Brown work is for four altos and prerecorded sound, and both the Schwanter and the Arnest works are for piccolo, flute alto and bass.
Each member of Flute Force plays all the flutes of the flute family: the piccolo, flute, alto and bass flutes, sometimes in a single concert. The group has been featured in venues throughout the United States and Canada and was a guest of the Australian Flute Festival in Melbourne, Australia.
