Chögyam Trungpa ~ JOY OF FEARLESSNESS

The joy of fearlessness brings the sadness. Joy doesn't stay by itself. If it did, there would be something wrong, something perverted about it. Real fearlessness is like mixing sweet and sour together. The tone of joyful sadness is like the sound of a flute, which is so melodic and beautiful. It ravishes your mind. It is not accompanied by any other musical instruments. The solo melody of the flute brings the echo of emptiness into your mind. Such loneliness is almost romantic, as if you were in love. You think you might be falling in love, but you don't know with whom. You are in love without a particular object in mind. Such sadness is very soft. It's not a miserable sadness, but it feels sad because it is soft and pliable.

RIP. Retired BSO Principal Flutist Doriot Anthony Dwyer passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 14th in Lawrence, Kansas, with her daughter at her side. She was 98 years old.

We have been very influenced at Boston Flute Academy by the brilliance and teaching of this legendary flutist, as have so many flutists from around the globe. Her legacy lives on.

With thanks to Lincoln Center, here is an excerpt from what they recently wrote in honor of Women’s History Month:

“Did you know that in 1952, flautist Doriot Anthony Dwyer became the first woman permanently appointed to a principal chair in a major symphony orchestra?

Doriot Anthony Dwyer, one of the first women to occupy a principal chair for a distinguished American orchestra, was a descendent of Susan B. Anthony. This famed American flautist studied at Interlochen Center for the Arts and the Eastman School of Music. Upon graduation, Dwyer landed the position of second chair flute with the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C. Women were so rare in orchestras in the 1950s that there were no accommodations for her in the concert hall.

She spent 38 years with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, playing to great critical acclaim, with some of the leading conductors of the day. She was also a highly decorated teacher, teaching at Boston University and the Boston Conservatory.”
