WSU Flutist Wins Grant To Fund Recording Project
Ann Marie Yasinitsky, a Washington State University music instructor and flutist, was the recipient of a Artist Trust GAP Grant to fund her upcoming CD recording project entitled “Intuition.”
On the disc, Yasinitsky will interpret standard flute works, including Debussy’s “Syrinx.” The CD will also feature pieces composed for Yasinitsky by Los Angeles composer Brent Pierce, and Gregory Yasinitsky, her husband and fellow WSU faculty member.
