Zara Lawler’s Flute on its Feet

On Saturday, June 15th at Hoff-Barthelson Music School, flutist and dancer Zara Lawler will perform "The Flute on its Feet," with dancer and choreographer C. Neil Parsons as part of Flute Plus XXXVII.

The Flute on its Feet is a performance that includes classics of the flute repertoire, new works by American composers, and pieces choreographed for flutist/dancer Zara Lawler by choreographer C. Neil Parsons. The Flute on its Feet offers audiences a unique experience within the world of classical music: instrumental performance fully integrated with dance, theater and storytelling.

Zara Lawler has created a new genre of performance. She uses dance and story to create new entry points into the music for the uninitiated and for the experienced concertgoer. She intends to illuminate the music in a profound and moving way. Lawler offers a new performance standard for the 21st century.
