Music Month at Logan Hyperdome library
28 September 2011
Logan Hyperdome is hosting a Music Month in October. There will be music themed activities happening every day at the library. Consult the events calendar for specific events and come along and join in the fun.
We have a musician coming on October 15 at 1:30 pm and plenty of spaces left to fill. At that session there will be a world premiere of the work of Robert Burrell called “An Ear to Hear” (see details below)
Karen Lonsdale is a professional flautist who has performed regularly as Principal Flute of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra. She is a graduate of the Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University and the Hochschule for Music in Munich, Germany. Her research on injury prevention and management for flute players is known internationally, and she has presented on this topic at several Australian and American flute and performing arts medicine conferences. Karen is on the teaching staff at Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University. Please join us as Karen chats about herself and her music, and demonstrates her talents on the flute.
On 15 October, at the Logan Hyperdome Library, Karen Lonsdale will be giving the world premiere of the work of Robert Burrell for solo flute and ’soundscape’ called ‘An Ear to Hear’. The soundscape is a recording of forest birds that accompanies the flute solo.
