At 7:30pm on Friday, June 24th, the Clarksville community will get the rare chance to hear this level of performer when Bennett presents an intimate concert in the University\u2019s Mabry Concert Hall.<\/p>\n

As a part of the evening\u2019s event, Bennett will perform his own arrangement of the \u201cViolin Sonata, Op. 4\u201d by Felix Mendelssohn. Dr. Lisa Wolynec, APSU professor of music and herself a gifted flutist, will join Bennett that evening for a performance of \u201cTrio Sonata in E Major\u201d by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, as well as \u201cRigoletto Fantasie\u201d by Franz Doppler.<\/p>\n

Wolynec will also perform Rhonda Larson\u2019s \u201cSweet Simplicity\u201d and \u201cOdelette\u201d by Camille Saint- Sa\u00ebns. Larson is familiar to APSU, having served as a Roy Acuff Chair of Excellence in 2015.<\/p>\n

The program will also feature some of Bennett\u2019s favorite pieces, other faculty associated with the Flute Academy and a flute choir comprised of attendees of the class.<\/p>\n

The concert is open to the public with a suggested donation of $10.00, but audience members will get to sit on stage with the performers for a more casual, relaxed experience.<\/p>\n

Bennett studied the flute under the legendary flutist Marcel Moise at the Paris Conservatory, and he will share his extensive knowledge of the instrument with attendees of his summer academy. Students sent in audition recordings from all over the country for the chance to play for him in the master class. Individuals interested in simply auditing the class can pay a daily fee of $175.00 to attend.<\/p>\n
