Guest Artist: Zawa! and Friends

ZAWA! described as “electrifying” and “mesmerizing” in performances across the country and abroad, is the longest standing professional flute duo of our time. Musical soulmates Jill Felber ad Claudia Anderson merged artistic forces in 1997, and began touring with recently commissioned and traditional duo works. ZAWA! has appeared at New York’s Carnegie Hall, London’s Wigmore Hall and many colleges and universities nationwide. Recognized as a unique and brilliant partnership, they have been guest artists at national and international flute festivals.

On-site registration & exhibit hall opens at 10am.
