Music

I have a wide variety of solo flute repertoire in my wheelhouse. This includes classical genres such as Baroque music (J.S. Bach, C.P.E Bach, Telemann, Boismortier, Quantz), Twentieth Century/Modern (Karg-Elert, Debussy, Poulenc, Honegger), Contemporary music (Cage, Berio, Takemitsu, Fukushima, Boustany), Canadian Contemporary (Aitken, Hétu, Monk-Feldman, Somers, Lemay.) I have also started to add traditional Irish and Scottish music to my repertoire. I can accommodate requests within reason.
