| Background I am a classically trained flutist performing in the Jacksonvile area. Currently, I work with chamber music groups as well as performing solo and in small ensembles. My background also includes performances with a Celtic music group and an acoustic rock group. I have often composed my own parts or created arrangements of pieces suited to particular instrumentation. Recently, I have been creating a flute duet arrangement of Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf" with narration. Performances Upcoming Performances As a soloist, I enjoy playing flute music for parties, silent auctions, weddings and other events. This may include a variety of melodies from Early music to 20th century Popular music including Classical and Broadway. For formal occasions, classical background music sets the mood. For more casual settings, a blend of styles may be ideal and a printed request list is available. Love songs are a favorite for weddings and Valentine's Day celebrations. Celtic music is a great choice near St. Patrick's Day and I often employ the tin whistle for that style. A list of available melodies & styles can be found on the song list page. (see tab above) When a small ensemble is preferred, Flutation is a flute duo between myself & Gia Sastre. We have classical flute duets for any occasion from formal concerts to corporate events and weddings. Chamber Music Chamber Music Society of Good Shepherd Mary L'Engle Ensemble Innamorati della Musica I thoroughly enjoy being a part of chamber ensembles. We are a large group of musicians who meet regularly for the love of playing chamber music - particularly the works of Bach and his baroque contemporaries. The number of people who perform varies depending on the requirements of the piece. I count myself very lucky to work with so many talented players. Volunteer Work I also work with the FSCJ Flute Choir under the direction of Mary Ellen Potter, Professor of Flute. This is a group of volunteers including students and professionals who gather to play flute music during the school year. It provides a wonderful opportunity for education and camaraderie. When we can, our instrumentation spans most of the transverse flute family: Piccolo, (Soprano) Flute, Alto Flute & Bass Flute Ongoing Project: CD of Original Instrumentals with guitarist George Lentini George & I were partners in an acoustic duo called "Good Question." Including guitar, flute, keyboard & dual vocals, we performed a variety of cover tunes with a few originals. We are continuing our collaboration of instrumental originals, planning to create a CD of our own music. The most recent tune, "Darkside," was recorded in May 2009. This is a long term project we look forward to completing in the future. Currently, George performs as "Just George," playing Old School Acoustic Guitar throughout the Jacksonville area. Listen "Greensleeves" Performed by: Anne McKennon & George Lentini Decorative Painting My painting style has been largely influenced by the folk art tradition, strokework and One Stroke® painting. I am a member of The Society of Decorative Painters and Decorative Artists of Jacksonville, the local chapter for whom I am the Web Administrator. Typically, I paint small decorative pieces, but occasionally, I paint on canvas as well. Follow this link to see photos: Anne's Painting Page |
