​MEET OUR 2020 VISITING ARTIST

We're excited to announce our Hartman Reserve Visiting Artist for 2020, Dr. Hannah Porter Occena! Hannah presently is Assistant Professor of Flute at UNI and Principal Flute with the Topeka Symphony Orchestra in Topeka, KS. Her proposal, “A Flute in Nature,” will explore the sounds of nature as expressed through the sound of the flute. Hannah has been on the grounds at Hartman Reserve, recording visuals and outdoor flute performances. You can see one of her musical tours of Hartman on this video. ​

​We'll be tagging along with Hannah and sharing with you her journey at Hartman through music. Hannah is offering two public programs at Hartman during her tenure (June - Sept.) as Visiting Artist:
-  July 19 @ 2:00 PM - Children’s Musical Story Time: Specifically geared to audience members 10 and under, the program will introduce audiences to the members of the flute family through stories and performances. Adults may tag along!
-  August 16 @ 2:00 PM - Conversations in Sound: Hannah will perform selections for solo flute and leads audience members in participatory activities addressing, “What is Music and what is Noise?”
