Founded in 2005 and under the direction of Asheville flutist Nancy Shinn, the ensemble play piccolo, C flute, alto flute and bass flute.  The ensemble performs classical arrangements, Celtic music, and jazz, hymn, and Broadway tunes.  The performers on March 23 will be Nancy Shinn, Debra Callis, Sarah Cifani, Tiffany Lamb, and Leonard Lopatin.

The concert will open with classical pieces by Bach, Debussy, and Bizet, while the second half of the program comprises Irish music including several popular airs, Sandra Howard’s Irish Suite, and Celtic music written by composer Catherine McMichael.
