ZAWA!, described as “electrifying” and “mesmerizing” in performances across the
country and abroad, is celebrating its 20th season together in 2017-18. Musical soulmates
Jill Felber and Claudia Anderson merged artistic forces in 1997. Their first
commission was running the edgE by Jennifer Higdon (1996), laying the foundation
for ZAWA’s commitment to expand the repertoire for two flutes and to reflect a
wealth of contemporary styles. Their arrangements of Claudio Monteverdi and
Jules Mouquet (available through ALRY Publications) exhibit sheer beauty of sound
and breathtaking lyricism, at the other end of the expressive spectrum. Collectively,
ZAWA’s diverse repertoire displays the drama, lyricism, versatility, and humor
they are known for, all delivered with high-spirited energy and impact. ZAWA! has
appeared at New York’s Carnegie Hall, London’s Wigmore Hall, and many colleges
and universities nationwide. Recognized as a unique and brilliant partnership,
they have been guest artists at national and international flute festivals, and have
enjoyed headliner performances spanning 2001 to 2016 at the National Flute
Association conventions. In 2014 ZAWA commissioned and premiered Cynthia
Folio’s double flute concerto, Winds for Change, a musical meditation on the effects

of climate change and the environment. ZAWA is touring the country in 2017-18
with this concerto in a new version with flute chamber orchestra; their goal is to
share the performance with strong flute studios across the country and to increase
awareness of concerns over the health and safety of our planet.
LINDA L. HOLLAND is an internationally recognized composer/performer
whose works have been performed in London, Spain, New York, Dallas,

Association Conventions), Schola Cantorum, Areon Flutes (at Carnegie Hall), the

to her work at Santa Barbara City College (since 1999), Dr. Holland directed the
MERIT (Music Education Reinforces Intellect and Talent) program at the Music

Sacramento, her MM in composition from the San Francisco Conservatory of
Music, her MM in flute from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and her

CARL MARIA VON WEBER (1786-1826), a cousin of Mozart’s wife Constanze,
was trained as a musician from his childhood, the son of a versatile musician who
had founded his own traveling theatre company. He made a favorable impression
as a pianist and then as a music director, notably in the opera-houses of Prague
and Dresden. Here he introduced various reforms and was a pioneer of the craft
of conducting without the use of a violin or keyboard instrument. As a composer
he won a lasting reputation with the first important Romantic German opera, Der
Freischütz. (source: Naxos Records)

CYNTHIA FOLIO (b. 1954) is a composer, music theorist, and flutist. As a young
flute player and army brat, her main inspiration came from her studies at the
Panama Conservatory in the 1960’s; there she studied with Eduardo Charpentier
(first flutist in the Panama Symphony) and had rigorous studies in solfège. She
received her PhD in music theory and Performer’s Certificate in flute from the
Eastman School of Music, where she studied composition with Joseph Schwantner
and flute with Bonita Boyd; Robert D. Morris advised her dissertation on the music
of Schwantner. From 1980 to 1990, she taught music theory and flute at Texas
Christian University and played in the Fort Worth Symphony. She now serves as
Professor and Chair of Music Studies in the Boyer College at Temple University,
where she was honored with the Creative Achievement Award in 2012 and the
Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1994.
Philadelphia Inquirer reviewers have described Folio’s compositions as “confident
and musical in expressing ideas of great substance,” “intriguing and enjoyable,”
and “imaginatively scored.” She received commissions from such organizations
as Network for New Music, the Relâche Ensemble, the Mendelssohn Club of
Philadelphia, Astral Artistic Services, Ensemble Triolet, Pi Kappa Lambda, and the
National Flute Association. She has held composer residencies at The American
Academy in Rome, Yaddo, and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts.
The author of many music theory articles and chapters, Folio focuses on the topics
of contemporary music and jazz, including a chapter on Sequenza No. 1 by Berio
in Berio’s Sequenzas (Ashgate Publishers); a chapter on polyrhythm in jazz in
Concert Music, Rock and Jazz Since 1945 (University of Rochester Press); and an
article on Schwantner’s music for Perspectives of New Music. Folio’s compositions
are recorded on many CD’s, including a 2014 release, Inverno Azul, featuring nine
of her compositions (BCM+D label); a 2007 release by the Relâche Ensemble, Press
Play (Meyer Music LLC); and a 2006 release of Flute Loops: Chamber Music for Flute
(Centaur Records), featuring eight of her compositions. She also recorded a jazz
flute CD, Portfolio (Centaur Records), which includes four original compositions.
WINDS FOR CHANGE, a musical meditation on the effects of climate change
and the environment (accompanied by optional video and live manipulation of
the flutes), was ZAWA’s idea. My musical relationship with ZAWA! goes back to
2008, when I wrote Z3 (for two flutes and piano: I. Zephyr, II. Zenith, III. ZAWA!)
for them. In six consecutive sections, Winds for Change begins with simulated
wind sounds, giving the impression that the flutes (alto here) are coming from a
great distance onto the stage. Entitled “Canyon Winds,” it captures the vastness of
the Canyon Lands—a historical landscape that goes back to the Anasazi Indians.
The “Hazy Sunrise” section begins in the Canyon Lands but could easily apply
to major cities around the world, where pollutants in the air obscure the sun.
The orchestra creates a high-pitched, vague texture. “Morning Mist” introduces
raindrops in the orchestra and flutes, which trigger electronic raindrops. This

grows into the “Summer Storm,” in which the seemingly innocent drizzle turns
into a serious hurricane, tsunami, or other natural disaster. This accelerates
into “Glacier Calving”— an event that is becoming more common and is often
quite dramatic. This section is almost completely improvised, by both soloists
and orchestra. The thunder sheet, used to evoke thunder in the storm, now
represents the crash of a large glacier falling into the water. An electrifying flute
cadenza follows, then gradually winds down as a transition to the calm final
section, “Ocean Spirits.” An ocean drum opens this section and evokes a mixed
mood of hope and sorrow. It features recorded whale sounds at the beginning
and dolphin sounds at the end, suggesting a plea to protect our waters and our
earth. Near the end, the flutes quote an American Shape-Note hymn, “Arkansas,”
whose text is: “I’ll launch my boat upon the sea; this land is not the land for me.”
