Hi, friends! I am honored and excited to have been selected as a gala and chamber music performer, competition judge, and panelist speaker for the 51st Anniversary National Flute Association Convention in Phoenix this year! As incredible as this opportunity is, I, unfortunately, do not have the finances to attend our convention. I would greatly appreciate you considering making a one-time contribution. By donating, you will not only make a meaningful impact on my professional development as a performer and pedagogue but will ensure my attendance so that I can carry out my obligations and responsibilities to the NFA. Life has been quite challenging. As I continue to look for new employment opportunities, your donation will not only enable me to attend NFA but will help me to continue being a light of hope for minority flutists in financial need. Here are some performances and panel discussions I would like to invite you to: August 3, 8–10 PM in Ballroom North 120 D Thursday Night Opening Gala ~ Around the World and Back Again I will perform with flutist Nicholas Buonanni and pianist Dianne Frazer. August 4, 1–2 PM in Room 229 AB Friday Panel: Performance Day Peace of Mind Panelists include Kim Scott, Carol Wincenc, Cathy Herrera, Cobus du Toit, Lisa Garner Santa, Brice Smith, Hannah Leffler, Jonathan Keeble, and Debora Harris. August 5, 2:15-3:30, Room 221 AB Beyond the Pale: A Low Flutes Chamber Recital This concert will showcase the versatility and virtuosity of low flutes, including the alto, bass, and contrabass flutists performing duets, trios, and small ensemble music specifically composed, arranged, and featuring low flutes. August 5, Lobby - Symphony Hall 7–7:45 PM Saturday Pre-Gala Lobby Concert NFA LGBTQ+ Flute Choir. Support provided by ALRY Publications, LLC. August 6, 1:15- 2:15 227 ABC Saturday Panel: A Successful Career in Music is as Diverse as We Are Panelists include Julee Kim Walker, Jenny Shin, Brice Smith, Amy Taylor, Nicholas Buonanni, and Mily Harrod. August 6, 2–3:30 PM 226 BC ~ Flute Quartet Tamar by Nicole Chamberlain Flutists: Brittany Trotter, Rose Bishop, Nicholas Buonanni, and Brice Smith Thank you so much for your consideration in helping me attend this year's convention! For everyone that donates, I will give each of you a shoutout in my next NFA promo video! Donations of $50 or higher will grant you one free flute lesson for anyone of your choice! Thank you! Sincerely, Brice Smith (celestialflute)
