About each of our guest artists:
Julien Beaudiment is the Principal Flutist of the Orchestre de Opera National de Lyon and Professor of Flute at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Lyon. Julien will work with three students and we’ll have time for an interactive Q & A, as well.
Acclaimed Los Angeles studio musician, flutist, composer Stephen Kujala will take us on a special tour inside his studio, Kuja La Land, and show you how to create your own home studio space for remote recording projects and share helpful tips on the recording process.
Brook Ferguson is the Principal Flutist of both the Colorado Symphony and the River Oaks Chamber Orchestra. Brook’s masterclass will be structured similarly to Julien’s class.
All of the artists involved in this special online program will be back, live and in-person, at our program in Fresno in July! We will be back and better than ever and will be so happy to put this pandemic behind us! Fingers crossed!
