The University of South Alabama Flute Choir and Celtic Crúe, directed by Dr. Andra Bohnet, will present their Fall Concert on Wednesday, November 1 at 7:30 p.m. in the Laidlaw Performing Arts Center Recital Hall. The Flute Choir will perform Dr. Bohnet’s new arrangement in honor of Canada 150 as well as feature senior student soloist Rebecca Reinhardt.

After a brief intermission, the Celtic Crúe will present three new sets of toe tapping jigs, reels and achingly beautiful slow airs performed on simple system Irish style flutes. They were honored to be selected to perform at the 45th Annual National Flute Association Convention in Minneapolis in August 2017. This is the only ensemble at the collegiate level in the country that combines traditional instruments and culturally appropriate instrumental techniques with a flute choir like sensibility.

Admission is $8 general and $5 for USA faculty & staff, USA students, youths under 18 and all senior citizens (cash or check only).
