On Tuesday night at the New Vic Theatre in Kalamazoo, flutist Mira Shifrin will present 'An Evening of Beautiful Melodies.' It's a program she's been dreaming up for a long time: showcasing the deep lyricism of the instrument rather than its high-speed bird-like tendencies. She joins Cara Lieurance in WMUK's Takeda studio to preview the concert by playing selections by Reinecke and Mozart.
Mira Shifrin earned her undergraduate degree in flute performance from Western Michigan University, and her master's degree from Ithaca College in New York. She is a freelance performer and teacher in West Michigan.
