2027 AFS Flute Festival
EcoFuturist Flutes, Featuring
Jill Felber & Claudia Anderson flute duo, ZAWA!
March 6, 2027, Austin Community College, Highland Campus
Appearance by ZAWA! made possible by Diamond Festival Sponsor, Miyazawa Flutes.
ZAWA! is the longest-standing professional flute duo of our time. Musical soulmates Jill Felber and Claudia Anderson merged artistic forces in 1997 and, from their first commission onwards, expanded the literature, power, and expressive range of two flutes together over the next quarter century. Running the edgE by Jennifer Higdon (commissioned in 1997) burst open the expressive possibilities of two flutes together and laid the foundation for ZAWA!’s commitment to expand this repertoire and to reflect a wealth of contemporary styles. Their arrangements of Claudio Monteverdi and Jules Mouquet exhibit sheer beauty of sound and breathtaking lyricism at the other end of the expressive spectrum. Collectively, ZAWA!’s diverse repertoire displays the drama, versatility and humor they are known for, all delivered with high-spirited energy and impact.
