  An ECM fan favorite, the EVOLUTION Series is back, this time delving into the fascinating world of the flute in Evolution of the Flute, co-curated by flutist Sungwoo Kim. The flute is among the earliest known identifiable musical instruments, with origins dating back more than 53,000 years. Over millennia, this remarkable instrument has evolved through numerous stages to become the flute we know today and is one of the most celebrated woodwind instruments. This extraordinary concert will feature five exceptional flutists, each showcasing the instrument's remarkable evolution from its ancient origins to its contemporary brilliance. Experience the transformation of the flute, from a simple tube with holes to a sophisticated, multi-metal marvel with over 120 articulating parts, exploring the flute's lineage, and witnessing a variety of flutes in diverse repertoire.
