Elise MacDonald, HMS music teacher and flutist, performed at the Chapel given tonight by Patrice Pinette. Her new group, the Sonorite Flute Trio, performed works of McKay, Zempleni, Casterede, and Tcherepnin. Vocalist Michiko Takahashi ('08) also performed an unaccompanied version of the Japanese "Sakura" (Cherry Blossom) song.
Founded just recently, the Trio's other members are Rebecca Jeffries of Pepperell, MA (a flute teacher, director of flute choirs, and soloist; also mother to Jacob, a student at Pine Hill) and Marjorie Hogan of Nashua, NH (director of the Merrimack Valley Flute Choir, principal flutist with the NH Philharmonic, and long time pal of Elise's).
The Trio were really pleased to have a chance to play in the chapel, with its amazing acoustic and receptive listeners.
Rebecca's website can be found in the "visiting artists" section in the left-hand margin.
