Flutistry is a Winona flute ensemble that has been playing together since 2011. It is made up of three founding members, Dr. Janet Heukeshoven, Arlene Boll, and Heidi Bryant, along with Amanda Wenzel who joined in 2017. The group performs a wide variety of music on different combinations of flute, piccolo, and alto and bass flutes. This December concert will also feature a few familiar holiday selections.

Dr. Rachel Haug, a Winona native, former student of Dr. Heukeshoven’s and honorary member of Flutistry, will join the group for this special concert. After earning her DMA in flute performance from The Ohio State University, Dr. Haug returned to Minnesota where she is the flute instructor at Winona State University, principal flutist for the Winona Symphony Orchestra (WSO), and the Director of Flute Sales for Schmitt Music’s Flute Gallery. She has previously performed with Flutistry for the WSO annual event at Elmaro and at Upper Midwest Flute Association events in Minneapolis.
