  • Arilyn and Evan - Pittsburgh Concert Society
    Oct 31 2024
    Carnegie Mellon University student harpist, Arilyn Mitchell, and flutist, Evan Curatolo, talk about their upcoming concert with the Pittsburgh Concert Society on Sunday, November 3rd at 2 pm at the Kresge Theater. They discuss the three short French pieces for flute and harp they will perform during the concert, and how they started performing together two years ago after Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra harpist, Gretchen Van Hosen, put them together. They also talk about their transition into their instruments at a young age. Arilyn switched from the flute to the harp, and never looked back. Evan transitioned from piano and saxophone to the flute in high school, starting out on a homemade flute made from pvc pipe. Both are looking forward to being back on the Kresge stage together.
