Ellen Burr is a masterful flutist known for exploring new directions in contemporary music. With over fifty years of experience, she has earned international recognition as a performer, teacher, improviser, and composer. She continually expands the possibilities of the flute, from classical to experimental (watch her introduction to a Piazzolla tango:
Since 1975, Ellen has soloed with orchestras across the United States and premiered numerous works by contemporary composers. She performs regularly with the Los Angeles Flute Orchestra, the Present Quartet, and Andrea Centazzo’s West Coast Chamber Ensemble, among others.
A dedicated educator, Ellen maintains an active private studio in Los Angeles and has taught at the California Institute of the Arts, Wichita State University, and institutions throughout the U.S., the U.K., and Canada. A Yamaha clinician since 1990, she is known for integrating solid technique with creative discovery.
She holds degrees from Wichita State University (BM) and the California Institute of the Arts (MFA), and earned the Certificat de Stage studying with Jean-Pierre Rampal in France. Her compositions, method books, and graphic scores are published under her EClectic Buzz label.
Lorenzo Sánchez, pianist, has enjoyed interpreting music of a variety of styles and nationalities in the United, States, Mexico, and Europe. Lorenzo premiered Robert Guillory’s Concertino for Piano and Orchestra. His interest in Polish music led to him giving several lecture-performances at several Paderewski Festivals in Paso Robles, California. In 2005, he performed works by African-American composer George Walker and Japanese composer Mitsuru Asaka in Hawaii. He has played for several choirs touring Italy and The Vatican in 2004 and again in 2013. He has edited and helped publish piano works by Mexican composer Domingo Lobato. As a collaborator, he has performed and recorded as member of various instrumental duos which include flutist Ellen Burr, violinist Nancy Roth, and clarinetist Virginia Figueiredo. His recordings are available on iTunes, Amazon, and Spotify. Lorenzo holds a DMA from USC.
