100th birthday celebration, à la française

World-renowned French flutist, pianist, teacher and composer, Louis Moyse, passed away in 2007, just a few weeks short of his 95th birthday. Five years later, on Bastille Day, I and other of his former students from all over the world gathered in his home village of St. Amour, France. We presented a gala concert of his works as his 100th birthday present to the people of St. Amour.

In advance of the festive events, I designed and posted a blog as a place to share memories of the man who was mentor, friend and inspiration to so many flutists and other musicians the world over. Click here to read more.
