Logan Mitchell- Flute Performance Reel

A performance reel featuring a variety of styles and techniques on the flute and other members of the flute family.

0:04 - “Something’s Missing” from Come From Away, by Irene Sankoff, David Hein. COME FROM AWAY National Tour, 2023-2025, playing Irish Flute, Whistles, and Uilleann Pipes. This clip features Irish Flute and an understanding of Traditional Irish Music through use of Celtic ornamentations and embellishing melodic lines.

0:24 - “Wall Rat” from Suite from Ratatouille, original score by Michael Giocchino, arr. by April DiDomenico. Performed in December 2022 with the Berklee Motion Picture Orchestra, where I played Principal Flute. This solo features strong technical facility with runs going across the whole range of the instrument.

0:41 - “Loneliness of Evening” from Rodgers & Hammerstein’s "Cinderella." I played Reed 1 in this production with the North Andover Drama Guild in December 2024. This moment showcases strong classical tone, lyricism and phrasing in the mid to upper range of the flute.

1:01 - “Dusk” from Bunny to the Moon, score written by Paul Zhao. I work as a freelance recording session musician and had the opportunity to play on this session in April 2023. This short film by Akira Maynard has earned several accolades since its release to film festivals, including being a finalist for the Rookie Awards Film of the Year and being an Official Selection from the Asian American International Film Festival. This moment features interpreting time and freely playing, as this moment was rather improvisatory in nature.

1:21 - "Café 1930" from Histoire du Tango for flute and guitar, by Astor Piazzolla. Performed at my Graduation Recital on April 30th, 2023. This clip showcases my ensemble skills with a classical guitarist, an understanding of tango/dance styles, and clean double tonguing throughout the range of the flute, especially with navigating tricky intervallic jumps.

1:41 - "I. Panic" from The Mourner's Suite by Simon Sadiković, debuted at the Society of Composers Spring Showcase in April 2023. This clip demonstrates an understanding of contemporary flute repertoire on solo alto flute.

2:02 - "All Around Aunt Ruby's Garden," a traditional polka which doubles as the "Screech" theme in Come From Away. This clip features the Irish flute and showcases my understanding of traditional Irish music through ornamentations and phrasing.

2:22 - "II. Allegro" from Flute Sonata in E Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach, performed in the Fall 2022 Recital for the Collaborative Piano Lab students. This clip showcases my understanding of Baroque music through phrasing and double tonguing.

2:42 - Deep Blue for Flute and Piano, composed by Ian Clarke and performed at my Senior Graduation Recital on April 30th, 2023. This clip demonstrates my ability to perform the contemporary techniques of note bends and the use of alternate fingerings.

3:01 - Chet Baker's solo from "All The Things You Are." This clip features my own transcription of Chet Baker's solo, while playing along to his recording using jazz articulations and phrasing.

3:21 - "Bows" from Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Cinderella," where I played the Reed 1 book for a production through the North Andover Drama Guild in December 2024. This clip showcases my piccolo playing, blending in with the Eb clarinet, and a series of mixed articulations.
