about

This Project started with a summer studying at the Music Academy Remote Learning Institute (usually the Music Academy of the West) during the COVID-19 pandemic. I received a small grant from the Music Academy to fulfill a personal project, and I decided to contact composers J Diaz, inti figgis-vizueta, and Yaz Lancaster after finding and falling in love with their music. I asked each of them to write me a short piece for solo flute. I had two goals in the making of this project: 1) Amplify queer voices in the classical music world, and 2) Fill the flute repertoire, even if just a little, with works by queer composers. I can definitely say that this project has been incredibly fulfilling—both in the collaborative aspects of working with these unbelievably imaginative composers, and in the results of their beautiful works for flute. Each piece delves into a different aspect of the flute, and they are all very unique pieces that I am proud to welcome into the flute repertoire.
