About Nicolas Duchamp:
Nicolas Duchamp is an internationally acclaimed performer and respected teacher in the tradition of the Paris Conservatory French school of flute playing. He has served for many years as principal flutist for the National Opéra Comique in Paris and toured extensively in his native France as well as Europe, Japan and North America performing as soloist with many of France’s leading chamber music ensembles and orchestras with conductors including Seiji Ozawa, Georges Prêtre and Myung-Whun Chung.
About the Hoff-Barthelson Music School Master Class Series:
Master class coaching by guest artists has been part of Hoff-Barthelson’s curriculum since the School’s founding in 1944. This distinguished tradition continues this season with a roster of world-class musicians and educators including Pamela Devenport and Paul Wiley, cello; Byron Janis, piano; Aaron Rosand, violin; Nicolas Duchamp, flute; Jon Manasse, clarinet; Alice Ripley, voice; and members of the New York Philharmonic.
Master classes are an enlightening experience for students and audiences alike. After months of careful preparation, students perform for and then receive feedback and guidance from a master teacher who often challenges the student to think in new and critical ways about the piece they’ve prepared. The results are inspiring and enlightening and serve as a catalyst for students to reach new heights in their own musical explorations.
