Dr. Andra Bohnet is a flutist who embraces a rich variety of musical styles with both virtuosity
and sensitivity. In addition to her position as Professor of Music at USA where she teaches flute,
music history/literature and chamber music, she is the principal flutist with Mobile Symphony
Orchestra where she has been a featured soloist on several occasions. Her newest project is the CD
Clinton on Clinton, the culmination of a research project which has been to rediscover the music of
John Clinton (1809-1864), an Irish flutist, composer and flutemaker who was a major figure in the
nineteenth-century flute design controversy. For this project, she performed Clinton's music on
seven flutes manufactured by Clinton & Co. over 150 years ago! This research has been presented
to the National Flute Association and the British Flute Society. Her chamber ensemble for flute and
strings, the Silverwood Quartet, has performed throughout the United States and in Japan,
including a performance for the National Flute Association. The group specializes in exploring
popular and world music in addition to the classical repertoire. Also the group’s primary arranger,
Andra’s creative charts capture the musical essence of styles ranging from Irish traditional to
Tibetan Chant and alternative rock and roll. Their newest project, A Celtic Mosaic, explores a
variety of unique and original music from Celtic sources including music from Riverdance, Lord of
the Rings, Ballykissangel and a trilogy of tunes by Loreena McKennitt. The Classic Rock Album,
was released in 2005. Rock icon Ian Anderson, flutist and leader of Jethro Tull, said, "Many thanks
for the CD. I enjoyed it very much and especially the variety of musical styles it incorporated. Keep
up the good work and help bring the worlds of pop/rock and the Classical traditions together."
She also performs on Irish and other folk flutes with her group Mithril, a high-energy Celtic/world
music band, which has released four CDs which have been featured on NPR's syndicated show
"Celtic Connections." Mithril is currently being featured with symphony orchestras for “Celtic
Christmas,” "Celtic Halloween" and "Celtic Celebration" pops concerts. Andra performs and
records on flutes of all shapes and sizes (classical, traditional wooden, baroque and a variety of
ethnic instruments), as well as Celtic harp.
Wilfred Delphin holds the B.M., M.M. and D.M.A. degrees in piano. For many years he
performed in partnership with New Orleans native, Edwin Romain (deceased). The Delphin &
Romain piano duo enjoyed an international career performing regularly in the United States,
Europe, South America and Asia. Their New York debut was in Carnegie Hall with the Symphony
of the New World, Everett Lee conducting. Subsequently, they appeared with many of this
country’s major orchestras and conductors - among them the New York Philharmonic with Zubin
Mehta, the Minnesota Orchestra with Sir Neville Marriner, the Chicago Symphonetta with Paul
Freeman, The New Orleans Philharmonic with Werner Torkanowski and Zednic McCall, The
Cleveland Orchestra and the Atlanta Symphony. As a result of their recital debuts in the Kennedy
Center and Carnegie Hall, Delphin and Romain were invited by President Jimmy Carter to
perform a solo recital in the East Room of the White House. Since his partner’s untimely death, Dr.
Delphin has continued to teach and to perform as a collaborative pianist. Individually and as part
of the team he has received awards and recognitions from the National Endowment for the Arts,
the Music Teachers National Association, the Phi Mu Alpha and Mu Phi Epsilon national music
fraternities, the New Orleans Black Chorale and the New Orleans Creole Heritage Society. The
State of South Carolina awarded him its highest recognition, the Elizabeth O’Neal Verner Award
for contributions to community arts and the Baldwin Piano Company named him to its artist roster
and its list of “Celebrated Artists.” He presents master classes and adjudicates for various music
organizations. He has been a grants panelist for state arts councils in South Carolina and Illinois in
addition to serving on panels for the National Endowment for the Arts and National

Endowment for the Humanities in Washington, D. C. In 2005 Dr. Delphin took an early retirement
with the title of Professor Emeritus from the School of Music at Southern Illinois University –
Carbondale. He joined the Peace Corps and was posted in Senegal, West Africa. However, in the
aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, he returned to Xavier University in New Orleans as a volunteer
for two years and then in 2008 assumed the position which he currently holds of Artist in
Residence/Professor of Music. He performs regularly with many of the areas finest vocal soloists,
the Patriotic Project Children’s Choir and the popular ensemble, Opera Creole. Dr. Delphin is this
year’s recipient of the Gambit Lifetime Achievement Award.
Dr. Jeff Kensmoe is the Chair of the Music Department and Associate Professor of Voice and
Opera at Birmingham-Southern College. Dr. Kensmoe has had an extensive performance career
singing in opera and musical theatre productions throughout the United States and around the
world. Some of his work includes Einstein on the Beach, Killer of Enemies, The Magic Flute, Hänsel and
Gretel, The Secret Marriage, The Ballad of Baby Doe, Trial By Jury, Street Scene, Camelot, Sayonara, She
Loves Me, Phantom, The American Phantom, Phantom of the Opera, I Do, I Do, and Bending Toward the
Light: A Jazz Nativity. He has been a bass-baritone soloist in Masses and oratorios across the United
States, including Bloch’s Sacred Service, Stravinsky’s Les Noce, Brahm’s A German Requiem, Fauré’s
Requiem, Mozart’s Requiem, Mendelssohn’s Elijah, Schubert’s Mass in G and Mass in E Flat and
Handel’s Messiah. He has appeared on television in the Sondhiem Gala at Carnegie Hall on PBS, the
Guiding Light on CBS and has been a guest artist at the New Zealand and former West German
Embassies. Dr. Kensmoe is currently the Vice President of the Alabama chapter of NATS, and
holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Northern Colorado.
Daniel Lelchuk was appointed Assistant Principal cellist of the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra
in 2013 by music director Carlos Miguel Prieto; he holds the same position with the New Orleans
Opera Association. Described by The Washington Post as a “dazzling virtuoso,” he is the recipient
of an award from the Angela Prokopp Foundation of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Having
played throughout North America, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe, he was invited as visiting
cellist with the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra in Doha and also performed as principal cello at the
Royal Opera House Muscat (Oman) with the Castleton Opera.
He has performed at numerous international festivals including those of Baden---Baden and
Salzburg, and has given chamber music concerts with such musicians as Alex Kerr,
Jorja Fleezanis, Steve Wryczynski, and members of the Vienna Philharmonic. He also serves as
cellist for New Orleans based chamber ensemble Lyrica Baroque. At the invitation of Prince Nicolò
Boncompagni Ludovisi, he presented a series of solo cello recitals at the famed Villa Aurora, Rome.
Originally from New Hampshire, Daniel Lelchuk studied with Eric Kim at the Indiana University
Jacobs School of Music (Bloomington) where he received the Eva Heinitz scholarship and played as
principal cello of the Indiana University Philharmonic and Opera orchestras. He began cello when
not yet five, studying for ten years with Donna Denniston, followed by studies with Sato Knudsen
(Boston Symphony Orchestra), and, for a year in Rome, with Francesco Strano (‘I Musici’ and the
Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia).
A founding member of the Castleton Chamber Players with violinist Eric Silberger, Daniel Lelchuk
served from 2010-2014 as principal cellist of the Castleton Festival under Maestro Lorin Maazel.
