On Friday, June 12th, the High Frequency Flute Quartet will be in our area for two Senior Concerts, sponsored by a generous grant from the Ottawa County Community Foundation. A highly talented ensemble founded by Tamara Kagy, this flute quartet is comprised of members of the Firelands Symphony Orchestra, who explore the standard and virtuoso flute repertoire that is so rich in giving voice to the flute.

The members of the quartet own and perform on all the voices of the flute, giving the ensemble a rich texture and multifaceted color. The musicians performing are Tamara Kagy, Jody Chaffee, Elizabeth Studer, and Zoe Stier.

At 1:00 PM, the High Frequency Flute Quartet will perform at Genoa Retirement Village, 200 Cherry Street in Genoa. At 3:00 PM they will give a program at Elmore Retirement Village, 633 State Street in Elmore Ohio.
