Heukeshoven to conduct Honors High School Flute Choir

The MCA Flute Choir

Dr. Janet Heukeshoven, music faculty, will be serving as this year’s Upper Midwest Flute Association (UMFA) Honors Flute Choir director on Saturday, April 21. The auditioned ensemble, made up of 18 select student flutists, will rehearse Saturday morning and early afternoon, then perform at 3:30 p.m. at Mayflower Congregational Church, Minneapolis. In addition to the high school ensemble, a Twin Cities-based adult flute choir will perform, as well as Winona’s  Minnesota Conservatory for the Arts (MCA) Flute Choir, led by Mandy Moburg. The MCA Flute ensemble will also feature Heukeshoven performing “La Chasse,” a turn of the century solo feature which she arranged for piccolo and flute choir for this performance. The concert will conclude with a massed ensemble of flutists in attendance of Bizet's “Farandole” arranged for piccolo, c flutes, alto and bass flutes and tambourine.   For additional details, please contact Janet Heukeshoven at jheukesh@smumn.edu, or umfa.org.
