Rutter’s ready to amaze

SHE’S considered one of the leading musicians of our time. And she’s on her way to Moama. Internationally acclaimed flautist Jane Rutter (pictured above) will perform as part of the South West Music concert series at Moama Anglican Grammar on Sunday.

Jane is a household name in Australia, has toured extensively here and overseas, and has 17 top selling solo albums under her belt.

Jane — who will be flying into Australia following concerts in France — said she was excited to be coming to Moama.

“I can’t wait to play for you all,” she said.

“I’ve heard great things about the region, the warmth of the people and the loveliness of the area.

“I love being in the country. There is nothing quite like the enthusiasm of audiences in country towns.”

Moama Anglican Grammar acting principal Kelly McKay said the school was proud to be hosting her.

“It’s great to have such a renowned musician in the area and we are honoured she has chosen our school to host this event,” she said.

Jane will be performing Flute Spirits and the Four Seasons, a program which will see her play up to 12 different classical and ethnic flutes.

Jane’s concert is the last for the South West Music concert series, which aims to bring world-class performances to the region.
