The Low Flutes Project seeks to find and create new works that shatter boundaries in sound and technique.  Through commissioning, performing, and recording, I will add my voice to the body of repertoire, helping to inspire the new generation of composers to explore deeply these two instruments that have captured my passion. My project begins with the commission of three composers that embody experimentation:  George Lewis, Elainie Lillios, and Nicolas Tzortzis. My project will span two years to allow for the creation of new works and preparation for recording.   For the premieres, I have a ready audience with the organizations of which I am a member: UMBC, Nief Norf Festival, SoundON Festival, and the soundSCAPE Composition and Performance Exchange Festival.  I will submit proposals to the major flute gatherings, embark on a concert tour, and record.  In this way, my project  will reach not only composers and performers of contemporary music, but a large general audience and culminate in the release of a CD.
