Special Guest Artist Shannon Jessica Lotti will present a workshop on how to warm up before your practice sessions.

Miyazawa Emerging Artist Shannon Lotti is completing her DMA in Contemporary Music at Bowling Green State University. ​Shannon performs as a member of Duo Aequalis with pianist Stephen Eckert, and Spectra Trio, with cellist Anthony Marchese and pianist Stephen Eckert. She made her concerto debut in 2024 performing Joan Tower’s Flute Concerto with the BGSU Philharmonia as a winner of the BGSU Competitions in Music Performance. Shannon is a laureate of many national and international competitions, most recently being named a quarterfinalist of the 2025 National Flute Association Young Artist Competition. Spectra Trio’s debut album will be released in Fall 2026 and features four never recorded works for flute, cello, and piano. Shannon’s research focuses on practice strategies and performance anxiety of collegiate-level students who began private study on their instrument at age 16 or later. Shannon received her BM from the University of Texas at Arlington and MM from the University of Nebraska.
