Wilkes University Flute Ensemble gave a recital Monday, April 26th, 2010 in the Darte Center Upper Lobby in Wilkes-Barre, PA. The members were Christine Chilcott, Brittany Daniels, Eliza Daubert, Deidre Filchak, Kim Sandford, Amy Sekol, Lucinda Simon, Xiaoyu Franz Yang, and I conducted. Luckily we had several new and returning members available to perform so we could hold this recital. 

The music performed was Arndt: Nola, Goff: Funsembles, Lombard: Cedar Ridge, Scarborough Fair, and Shenandoah, and Satie: Gymnopedie No. 3.

Dr. Phil Simon was kind enough to take these photos and Cindy Simon compiled them and sent them as a slideshow.
