New York Flute Club Newsletter Interview 2012
March 2012 Amy Porter and “The Anatomy of Sound” Interview by Wendy Stern hen I was a master’s student at Juilliard in the early ’80s I received a phone call from my former teacher, Deborah WCarter, who raved about a star student and asked if this student, Amy Porter, could please stay with me for her Juilliard audition. Upon meeting Amy and hearing her play (she practiced just about nonstop for the three days she was in my apartment), I knew she was a major talent. I have followed her career with interest and awe as she won both national and international competitions, became principal flute at the Atlanta Symphony, established herself as an international recitalist and concerto soloist, and, most recently, earned awards for teaching and scholarship as a professor of flute at the University of Michigan. Amy and I conversed via email during the first weeks of February 2012. WENDY STERN: The week of March 24, 2012 is certainly a busy one for you...not only are you the guest artist at the NY Flute Fair, you will also be the soloist in the NY premiere of Michael Daugherty’s Trail of Tears with the American Composers Orchestra at Zankel Hall. How did this concerto [whose title refers to a particularly brutal forced relocation of Native Americans in the late 1830s] come to be written for you? AMY PORTER: Michael Daugherty [a faculty colleague at the University of Michigan’s School of Music] had mentioned to me for many years that he would like to write a flute concerto for me. -
April 1, 2008. You Will Be Able to Sign up for Solos, Ensembles, and Auditing As Well As Order T-Shirts and Patches
Dear Flutists, I can’t believe how quickly time is passing. As I write this, only 97 days, 18 hours, 7 minutes and 46 seconds until the start of the 31st Annual Texas Flute Festival which begins with the semi-final round of the Myrna W. Brown Artist Competition, Thursday, May 15 at 2:00 PM Recital Hall of the College of Music – University of North Texas. Once again, you will be able to register online March 1 – April 1, 2008. What a stellar list of guest artists we have this year. Renee Siebert, distinguished member of the New York Philharmonic for over 25 years, is well known throughout the world, not only as an orchestra member, but also as a soloist, chamber musician, and teacher. Renee is a highly sought after interpreter and coach of orchestral repertoire and collaborated with Jean Baxtresser, former principal of New York Philharmonic, on the widely acclaimed, “Great Flute Duos from the Orchestral Repertoire.” She will present a masterclass Friday evening and perform throughout the day on Saturday. Although many of us had not heard of Greg Pattillo until recently, he is hugely popular with the junior high and high school students, largely because of his video clips on YouTube. He will present a workshop on how to beatbox, a masterclass on extended techniques, and will perform in recitals with PROJECT bass player, Peter Seymour, a Dallas native, and Erich Stephenson, cellist. Bringing a new sound to flute playing, Greg’s beat- boxing style is a mixture of genres stemming from his classical training at the Cleveland Institute of Music where he studied with Joshua Smith. -
