CU graduate students win state flute competition

By Ashley ZsedenyiNews from Campbellsville University

CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - Campbellsville University's graduate flute quartet, Quarteto Gracioso, won the collegiate division of the Macauley Chamber Music Competition, hosted by the University of Louisville and sponsored by the Chamber Music Society of Louisville, recently.

The members of Quarteto Gracioso are: Nell Chaudoin from Springfield, KY; Seromi Kim from Pohang, South Korea; Sunghye Kim from Busan, South Korea; and Denis Santos from Fortaleza, Brazil.



As a result of winning the state competition, Quarteto Gracioso was invited to perform at the Winner's Recital on the campus of the University of Louisville recently, and have also been invited to perform for WUOL radio in Louisville Wednesday, March 17, 2010, at noon.

Dr. Lisa McArthur, associate professor of music and director of the flute ensemble, said, "This is a really big win for them, and a great honor for the university."

"They won over a lot of well-respected ensembles from around Kentucky," McArthur said.

She said this prestigious competition exists to promote the performance of chamber music in Kentucky and Indiana, and wind, string and brass ensembles compete against each other in three divisions - junior high, high school and collegiate.

There were ensembles from across Kentucky in the competition, including ensembles from the University of Kentucky, Eastern Kentucky University, Murray State University, the University of Louisville and others.

McArthur said the group has been rehearsing together since August 2009, performing a number of times on campus in the last few months, as well as performing at the Kentucky Flute Festival in January 2010.

In the competition, they played two different works: a four-movement quartet by Eugene Bozza (1905-1953). and a more contemporary piece by Adrian Sanborn.

"They performed the Sanborn work from memory, a feat that is rare among chamber ensembles," McArthur said. "Each of these pieces requires a great deal of skill from each performer, in addition to advanced skills as an ensemble.
