Arctic Wind Flute Choir "The Sky's No Limit" CD

Arctic Wind Flute Choir "The Sky's No Limit" CD The Arctic Wind Flute Choir is an elite performing ensemble featuring southcentral Alaska’s best high school flutists. Placement in the ensemble is by rigorous audition. Members play on the full range of flutes including piccolo, C-flute, E-flat flute, alto, bass and contrabass flutes, giving depth and resonance to the warm tone color of the ensemble. From energetic gigues to soulful hymns, the repertoire performed by Arctic Wind Flute Choir spans the centuries, music from all eras that lifts the heart and soothes the soul. The Arctic Wind Flute Choir has a rich tradition of performance. It developed from the Anchorage Flute Choir founded in 1984. Now, the flute choir program has four flute choirs with three conductors providing music performance opportunities for flutists of all ages and ability levels. The Arctic Wind Flute Choir is the top performing ensemble and has been featured on both national and international concert tours. In 2004, the ensemble toured to Paris and London, in 2006, to New Zealand. Recorded in 2005 and released in 2006, this CD is the work of the high school students at the Alaska Flute Studies Center in Anchorage, Alaska. The Sky’s No Limit is the perfect concept from Alaska where we often have the aurora borealis dancing across the night sky. Uncharted Paths by Deborah Anderson (Alry) 1. Vol de Nuit 3:33 2.
