Check out the first post of our #MusicianMonday series! Flutist Sarah Jane Young has been performing with the TSO for several years now and has had a VERY busy summer so far!
Recently, Sarah Jane has performed with the Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra, The Tallahassee Ballet, and Pensacola Symphony Orchestra, and participated in the Pensacola Symphony Petting Zoo.
She also just completed a tour and recording session with her baroque flute ensemble, Traverso Colore. The repertoire consisted of the group's own arrangements that they are also publishing. She also performed with her new music ensemble, Bold City Contemporary Ensemble in Jacksonville, Florida. They performed in the concert series Schulkonzert, and everything performed was from their call for scores project winners, including a world premiere of Piotr Szewczyk's flute and piano piece, Three Miniatures.
Sarah Jane also has a flute and piano duo with Galen Dean Peiskee. In June, the Young-Peiskee Duo performed a benefit concert for Refuge House, consisting of music by female composers. The duo raised well over $1,500!
In late July, Sarah Jane will join the faculty at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, teaching flute sectionals, masterclasses, and performing with the faculty wind ensemble and orchestra.
Finally, in August the flute ensemble I direct in the Bethune-Cookman University Flute Studio will have the honor of performing in the The National Flute Association Convention in Orlando. Sarah Jane will also be a featured performer at the convention.
On a non-musical note, Sarah Jane is very excited about the launch of her grandfather's sailboat this past weekend. The boat's restoration is finally completed after 12 years of work (and 12 years after her grandfather's death). Read about the sailboat and launch here: www.longislandadvance.net/5650/Historic-sloop-to-set-sail
Sarah Jane also recently attended her cousin's wedding. Her cousin, Annie Starke, is starring in the movie The Wife, which is coming out in August of this year. Check out Sarah's cousin and the movie here:
