PASSACAGLIA
Amy Porter
Solo Flute
Amy Porter first leapt to international attention when she won the Kobe International Flute Competition in Japan, which led to invitations to perform throughout the world. She has been acclaimed by major critics as an exciting and inspiring American artist who matches "her fine controlled playing to a commanding, sensual stage presence."
Bernard Holland of The New York Times described Ms. Porter's New York debut as "technically robust and musically forceful."
She has performed throughout the world as soloist at major music centers including Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, Suntory Hall, and the National Theater Concert Hall in Taipei, Taiwan. Ms. Porter has been heard in recital on National Public Radio, highlighted on PBS Live From Lincoln Center and featured on the cover of Flute Talk Magazine.
CD releases include the premiere recording of William Bolcom's Lyric Concerto for Flute and Orchestra on Equilibrium and Porter Ambrose King; Music for Flute and Oboe on Boston Records. Ms. Porter released her first DVD, Karg-Elert 30 Caprices: A Study Guide with Amy Porter and has published her arrangement of Six Songs for Flute and Piano by Benjamin Godard.
