ABOUT THE GUEST ARTIST George Pope is Emeritus Professor of Flute at The University of Akron (1978-2013) and former Instructor of Flute at Baldwin Wallace Conservatory (2002-2023). Principal Flute of The Akron Symphony from 1978-2002, he has also performed with The Cleveland Orchestra, the Brevard Music Center Orchestra, the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra, and the Canton and Toledo Symphony Orchestras. Pope is a founding member of the Solaris Wind Quintet, releasing three CDs, and the Chamber Music Society of Ohio.

He is currently President of the Board of the Tuesday Musical Association in Akron. His solo CD ...and some measures for living was released in 2016 and features works by living Americans, including music by women, black, and LGBTQ+ composers. Gramophone writes “The wonder of Pope’s playing is how engagingly, articulately, flowingly and objectively he pours himself into the music...” (September 2016)
