Canadian flutist Nadia Kyne first rose to national prominence when, at the age of sixteen, she won the Grand Award at the National Music Festival Finals, becoming one of the youngest competitors ever to receive this honor. Since then, she has performed throughout Canada, the United States and Japan as a soloist, chamber musician and orchestra member. In addition to recent chamber music appearances at Le Poisson Rouge, MoMA's "Summergarden Series" and New York's "Focus Festival", Ms. Kyne has appeared as soloist with the Vancouver and Edmonton Symphonies, and many of her performances have been broadcast nationally by CBC radio. Ms. Kyne has held fellowships for study at the Pacific Music Festival in Japan and the Tanglewood Music Center, and has worked with many of the world's leading conductors as an orchestral player. In March of 2007, while still an undergraduate student at the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music, she was invited to play as a substitute in the Philadelphia Orchestra. Ms. Kyne recently earned a Masters Degree from The Juilliard School.
