Andra Bohnet is a flutist who embraces a rich variety of musical styles with both virtuosity and sensitivity. In the classical realm, she holds the post of Professor of Music at the University of South Alabama in Mobile where she teaches flute, music literature, and chamber music. She is the principal flutist with Mobile Symphony where she has been a featured soloist on several occasions. Her chamber ensemble for flute and strings, the Silverwood Quartet (www.silverwoodquartet.com) has performed throughout the U.S., for the National Flute Association, and in Japan. The group specializes in exploring popular and world music in addition to classical repertoire. Also the group’s primary arranger, Andra’s creative charts capture the musical essence of styles ranging from Irish traditional to Tibetan Chant and alternative rock and roll. Their latest CD, The Classic Rock Album, was released in 2005. Rock icon Ian Anderson, flutist and leader of Jethro Tull said, "Many thanks for the CD. I enjoyed it very much and especially the variety of musical styles it incorporated. Keep up the good work and help bring the worlds of pop/rock and the Classical traditions together." She also performs on Irish and other folk flutes with Mithril (www.mithril.us), a high energy Celtic/world music band, which has released three CDs which have been featured on NPR's syndicated show "Celtic Connections." Mithril is currently being featured as soloists with symphony orchestras for “Celtic Christmas” and "Celtic Celebration" Pops concerts. Andra performs and records on flutes of all shapes and sizes (classical, traditional wooden, baroque and a variety of ethnic instruments) as well as Celtic harp. |
