The Indiana State University Music Department will host a Flute Fair on Saturday, Nov. 21 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Center for Performing and Fine Arts, at Seventh and Chestnut streets.

Flute Fair features flutist Katherine Borst Jones and ISU music professor Randy Mitchell, who will present the seminar “Taking the Mystery out of Improvisation.”

Students interested in participating in the student performers competition should submit a cassette or CD recording of their solo along with the registration form no later than today. Winners will be notified by Nov. 18.

Jones has been at Ohio State University since 1985 and has served as chair of woodwinds, brass and percussion since 1999. She was awarded the Distinguished Teacher award in 1995.

She is a founding member and co-principal flutist of the ProMusica Chamber Orchestra, a member of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra and principal flute of the New Sousa Band, which has toured Japan and the US.

A native of Evansville, Mitchell has been on the music faculty at Indiana State since 1990. He recently completed a three-year period serving as interim chairman of the music department. The 2009-2010 school year marks his return to the trombone/euphonium studio as well as his 20th year of teaching at ISU.
