Lecture/Flute Optics Recital by the Lago Flute Quartet (and presentation)

This promises to be a great event by our own students!

The Quartet, Alan Berquist, Alison Crossley, Katy McKinney, Cecilia Ulloque will alternate between playing musical pieces and talking about the group and its concert experiences. Daniel Bock, a doctoral student in the Physics Department at Carnegie Mellon, collaborated with the group on an interdisciplinary project to produce a flute optics device that fits inside the four flutes and changes color with the differing harmonics of the instrument. They will give a demonstration of this device at the end of the program.

Lago Flute Quartet was founded in the fall of 2003 at Carnegie Mellon University In Pittsburgh, PA. "Lago" is an English acronym for the initials of each of the original group members' name translated into Spanish/Italian. Lago's debut album, "...beginnings," was released in October 2005. In early summer 2005, the group returned from a two-week tour of Chile, which included performances in Santiago and at the Fourth International Flute Festival of Chile in Osorno. Lago performed in March 2005 for the Royal Family of Qatar at the Inaugural Gala of Carnegie
Mellon's campus in Education City, Qatar. In August 2004, Lago was a guest performer in the Gala Concert at the National Flute Convention in Nashville, TN.
