• Convention Highlights - Spotlight on Piccolo
  '"The Anaheim Marriott Hotel was home for the 2010 National Flute Association Convention. One of the many highlights was the Piccolo Gems concert that featured six piccolo solos accompanied by the California State university Fullerton Wind Symphony ... Royal Flemish Philharmonic solist Peter Verhoyen left the audience breathless with Derek Bourgeois' spectacular Piccolo Picante. The composition is good, however the performance of Verhoyen is what sticks in the memory. His playing was flawless and subtle, with great dynamic variation, and wonderful intonation. He has produced three CD's of music that we have rarely heard. They are an outstanding guide for phrasing and musicianship ..." Flute Talk Magazine November 2010
