The Felix Skowronek Memorial Event is an annual event sponsored by the Seattle Flute Society in honor the organization's founder, Felix Skowronek. The event traditionally features local artists and/or wooden flute specialists. Past events have featured performances by Demarre McGill, Jeffrey Barker, Janet See, and Cathy Ransom Karoly, among others. In the online 2020-2021 Season, the Felix Skowronek Memorial Event was expanded into a series of presentations, workshops, and performances by local flutists, teachers, and artisans. The event in its original design returned for the 2021-2022 Season onwards.
The 2022 Felix Skowronek Memorial Event features the principal flutist of the Pacific Northwest Ballet Orchestra, Evan Pengra Sult. He will be joined by pianist Lisa Bergman to present a recital highlighting lesser-known late Romantic and early modern works from "Mitteleuropa." Then, he will lead an orchestral excerpt masterclass for student flutists.
Interested in performing in the excerpt masterclass? The class is open to flutists between the ages of 14 and 25, and spots will be reserved on a first-come, first-serve basis. Learn more about how to apply here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1k1zWOiMuiSvr8a8f2Uy2kO1s5yP-y3HoRgWPu8nIh08/edit
