Smith & Co Your Flute Works Charlotte, NC New York City www.flutesmith.com www.yourfluteworks.com NFA Convention Booth 209,211 4 nfaonline.org On behalf of the NFA board of directors and staff, welcome to Anaheim! t my first NFA convention decades ago, when it Awas much smaller, the number of fantastic per- formances flabbergasted me—I never knew great flute playing was so widely distributed! Much to my surprise, some Young Artist Competition finalists were just as polished as established artists (and today Leonard Garrison these former competitors are themselves established artists). If this is your first convention, I hope you have a similar revelation. In the era of iTunes and YouTube, gatherings like ours take on increased importance. Music has never been so accessible, but most people now have a much-diminished experience of it, listening to compressed sound files through tiny earphones while they’re jogging or chatting on the Internet. I look forward this week to time for pure listening, hearing what flutists really sound like, how they project, how they color the sound. Program Chair Cynthia Ellis has cooked up a hearty stew of great performanc- es and fascinating presentations. New to the mix this year are workshops with the NFA’s Career and Artistic Development Committee, concerts and classes with the Low Flutes Committee, a Kids Kamp for flutists ages 8–13, and professional devel- opment credit for convention attendance (forms are available at the NFA registra- tion desk). Many thanks to Cynthia for her volunteering a huge amount of her life this past year to make it all happen! Our exhibitors are a significant part of the NFA and spend much time, effort, and money bringing their offerings to us. Please support them not only by visit- ing the exhibits but also by buying, whether it’s a $20,000 flute or a $3.95 tchotchke. I always leave the convention with a full suitcase! I look forward to seeing you at the opening annual meeting of the NFA on Thursday at 8:30 a.m. and the closing ceremonies on Sunday at 4:00 p.m. In between, the board will conduct the business of the organization in morning meetings. Please come meet us at the NFA booth in the exhibit hall on Friday and Saturday from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. We’d be happy to hear your ideas about our future. Join me in celebration of 2010 Lifetime Achievement Award recipients Leone Buyse and Fenwick Smith and National Service Award honoree Gwen Powell at the Reception and Gala Dinner on Saturday. Other chances to mingle with fellow flutists are the Myrna Brown Society Dinner on Thursday, the Flute Lover’s Lunch on Friday with Jim Walker, and the new Teacher’s Breakfast on Saturday with Tadeu Coelho. I cannot give enough thanks to the many volunteers who are the lifeblood of the NFA, our excellent staff, my fellow officers and board members, the many gener- ous contributors, and the entire membership. It’s been an honor and pleasure to work with all of you. After years as secretary, treasurer, vice chair, and chair, I look forward, for once, to a full experience of our next convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, August 11–14, 2011. See you there!
