FREE Flute Masterclass with Paul Edmund-Davies - Vancouver, BC

Powell Flutes and Long & McQuade are proud to present a free Flute Masterclass with Paul Edmund-Davies.

Paul Edmund-Davies established his international reputation as flautist and soloist in the twenty years that he was Principal Flute of the London Symphony Orchestra. Conductors with whom he has performed include Leonard Bernstein, Rostropovich, Pierre Boulez and Kent Nagano. He has played in Chamber Music ensembles with André Previn.

For the last ten years, Paul has toured extensively, giving recitals, classes and performing in America, Europe, Canada, Australasia, the Middle East and the Far East.

Paul has also co-written and performed on cross-over projects with Neil Percy, Principal percussionist with the LSO.

He has also edited several books of music, and is currently working on editions of the complete flute works of the hitherto uncelebrated Giuseppe Rabboni.

Paul has performed on more than 50 film soundtracks, including classics such as Star Wars (episodes 1 and 2), Aliens, Braveheart, Harry Potter, and more.

When not playing the flute, he is a director of The Champagne Guild, a company devoted to introducing previously unavailable champagnes into the United Kingdom. In September 2005, Paul took up the position of Principal Flute with the Philharmonia Orchestra and in January 2011 was appointed as Principal Flute of English National Opera.

We are very excited to have Paul back to Vancouver as his flute master class is one of the best you will ever see.  Entertaining and very enlightening, it is not one to be missed!  For intermediate-advanced students and teachers alike.
