While we all love to enjoy a polished performance of a great work of
music, many music lovers are not aware of the many layers of a
musician’s process to arrive at the finished product they share with
us on stage or in recordings. Isn’t musicians’ work just play? Why
is “talent” a dirty word? How *do* you get to Carnegie Hall? From
decades of training to daily life juggling a portfolio career,
musicians are elite small-muscle athletes who wear a number of
professional hats. Experience a peek behind the curtain of a
musician’s life and preparation with flutist Lindsey Goodman to
learn about professional musicians’ lives and careers and to fully
appreciate everything that goes into bringing the performances you
love to your ears. (Spoiler: musicians love performing for you as much
as you love hearing them!) This session will include performances of
signature works from Ms. Goodman’s repertoire. Flutist Lindsey
Goodman is a soloist, recording artist, chamber collaborator,
orchestral musician, educator, and clinician who has performed
concerts, taught masterclasses, and given presentations across three
continents, including at Carnegie Hall, Eastman School of Music,
Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Google
headquarters, University of Cincinnati College–Conservatory of
Music, National and Canadian Flute Association conventions, across
China, and on the Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone podcast. A
committed advocate for living composers and electroacoustic music,
Lindsey is an active commissioner of new works with 215 world
premieres to her credit. Her first and second solo albums, Reach
Through the Sky and Returning to Heights Unseen, feature commissioned
pieces, and her third and fourth solo albums, Etereo and In the
Company of Music, feature works by living American composers. Lindsey
has given recitals in New York City, performed concertos across the
United States and Canada, and been featured in live and recorded radio
broadcasts on stations
