Featured Soloist: Fenwick Smith, flute

Fenwick Smith has been a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra since 1978, and a member of the Boston Chamber Music Society since 1984. He has performed on Baroque flute with Boston's leading early-music ensembles, and was for thirteen years a member of the contemporary music ensemble Boston Musica Viva. Smith often includes chamber music on his annual Jordan Hall recitals, which, after 24 seasons, are a prominent feature of Boston's concert calendar. His adventuresome discography includes premiere recordings of works by Copland, Foote, Ginastera, Dahl, Harbison, Cage, Pinkham, Rorem and Reinecke.

An instructor at both the New England Conservatory and Tanglewood, Smith worked for 12 years for Verne Q. Powell Flutes, Inc. and today plays a Powell flute of his own construction. He no longer makes flutes but continues to work with his hands. He designed a solar-tempered post-and-beam house in the woods of Richmond, MA near Tanglewood and has converted the former Roslindale Masonic Lodge into a state-of-the-art venue for acoustic recording.

Fenwick Smith played Mozart's Double Concerto for Two Flutes (K. 448) with Robert Stallman on Jan 24 and 26, 2003.
