Music in the Stacks

Penn Flutes (in full force) perform in Van Pelt Library's main lobby. This program will feature Irish tunes. A post-spring break treat!

Penn Flutists perform duos and quartets in the Van Pelt Library's main lobby. This program will feature a new piece called Traveling for alto and C flute, and then a quartet by Casterede called Flutes en Vacation. A post-spring break treat!

Back by popular demand, this wonderful group of flutists will present a holiday-themed program. This concert will take place in the main lobby of Van Pelt (first floor near entrance).

The recital is part of an ongoing exhibit project about the Turkish four reed-Ney instruments acquired by the Museum of the University of Pennsylvania as a gift given by Sarah Frishmuth, renowned collector of antique musical instruments at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. The recital offers an organological contribution informed by the ethnomusicological research on Muslim mysticism and listening by Juan Castrillón (PhD student, Penn).

The intimate group of flutists known as the "Library Choir" will perform music from Holst's The Planets, de Falla's Ritual Fire Dance and Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture.
