- brings newly commissioned works for the featured instruments by recognized composers
- encourages and fosters performance of student compositions for woodwinds
- recognizes the work of an Ohio music teacher with an award
The 2006-07 installment focuses on the flute and brings the respected teachers, lecturers and performers Robert Aitken, Peter Lloyd and Chris Norman to campus to teach and perform. Pieces to be premiered include Sunshine of Saint Eulalie for the OSU Flute Troupe by Chris Norman and a trio by Stephen Paulus for Cosmos, Katherine Borst Jones, flute, Mary Harris, viola and Jeanne Norton, harp.
