The Flute Space | Olivia Petryszak | S.3 Ep. 7

This time our guest is the wonderful Emily Beynon, who shares with us her work on Project Paloma, a 5 volume flute repertoire project that enhances Second World War flute and piano masterpieces. The episode was recorded right in time before the premiere of Guillaume Connesson’s Danses concertantes, written for Emily.We got to pick her brain on accessibility of education (Neflac and her Youtube videos are a proof of that), as well as the process of writing a book on coming back to practice after a break. It also speaks volumes on Emily Beynon’s work as an artist and a teacher. A true inspiration, we hope her words will move each of you!Project Paloma: https://projectpaloma.com/motivation/ The Book: https://emilybeynon.com/workbook-to-help-you-get-back-into-shape/Videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE05Xc9qDdQ9CTzTQp6b5MAWebsite: https://emilybeynon.com/Splendor Amsterdam: https://www.splendoramsterdam.com/Neflac: https://neflac.nl/Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/theflutespace⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: @theflutespaceSupport us: ☕️ https://buymeacoffee.com/theflutespaceContact: [email protected]

In our newest episode we spoke to flutist and author Ernestine Whitman about her new book "Countermelodies - a memoir in sonata form", in which she raises awareness for harassment, abuse and playing with power in the classical music scene through her very own personal story of being a young orchestra musician. Meanwhile she is long retired after almost 30 year of being flute professor at Lawrance University in Appleton, Wisconsin - she therefore has also a lot of experience in giving advice to young musicians. Go check out her brilliantly written book, where Ernestine offers a very personal insight in what can happen in the classical music scene next to all the glamour. We read it - will you? 📚🤓 Linktree : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/theflutespace⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: @theflutespace Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@theflutespace⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Support us:☕️ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theflute..⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

We had the loveliest talk with Kathryn Williams during her stay in Antwerp! Kathryn is not just flutist, but also composer and artistic researcher. Her current project, Coming Up for Air, started in 2017 as a playful creative response to living with chronic respiratory conditions by inviting composers to write flute pieces limited to a single breath. The project now includes over 150 pieces and a new flute concerto based on the project will premiere with the Luxembourg Philharmonic on 21 November 2024 at Rainy Days Festival in Luxemburg!!
