Flutist William Bennett in concert at APSU on June 27th.<\/p><\/div>\n

Dr. Lisa Wolynec, APSU professor of music, will join Bennett for a performance of Rigoletto Fantasie for two flutes by Franz Doppler. The event is open to the public with a suggested donation of $10.00.<\/p>\n

In 1995, Britain\u2019s Queen Elizabeth II presented Bennett with the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for his distinguished services to music. He is in Clarksville this June because, for the third year in a row, APSU is hosting the William Bennett Summer Flute Academy, his only master class offered in the U.S. Bennett previously held the class in Chicago, but after visiting APSU as the Acuff Chair of Excellence in 2011, he decided to move the academy to Austin Peay.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s just a great teacher and a charismatic player,\u201d Wolynec said. \u201cHe\u2019s very interested in the expressive components of the flute.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bennett studied the instrument under the legendary flutist Marcel Moise at the Paris Conservatory. He brings this knowledge and his years of experience to the summer academy. Students send in audition recordings from all over the country for the chance to play for him in the master class. This year, musicians from Boston, New York, New Mexico, Virginia, Michigan and Florida are coming to APSU to study under Bennett.<\/p>\n

Individuals interested in simply auditing the class can pay a daily fee of $125.00 to attend.<\/p>\n
