While Lauren won’t be playing in it this year, this festival is still a fun way to meet other flutists in the area, play a LOT of fun instruments and browse through sheet music. She will also be selling raffle tickets through out the day; proceeds go to the Seattle Flute Society. This year’s featured flutists is Trudy Kane. Trudy Kane joined the faculty of the Frost School in 2008 after 32 seasons as principal flutist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. She received both her BM and MM from the Julliard School. She is active in the commercial recording field and can be heard on the soundtracks of many film scores including The Untouchables and Beauty and the Beast (original). She can be heard and seen on many Met videos including Il Trittico, Manon Lescaut, Peter Grimes and three different La Bohemes. Her solo CD In the French Style includes Sonatas by Franck, Fauré and the Gieseking Sonatine.
