MasterY class WITH Alexa Still

Alexa Still is known internationally primarily through her 20+ recordings that have garnered

Classical C D Guide). “Still plays... so convincingly I cannot separate her from the music”

(American Record Guide), “whatever she plays sounds musical in every turn of the phrase”

(Gramophone), “a stunning showcase for the astonishing Alexa Still” (Fanfare). “Still showcases

her exquisite lyricism and virtuosity on every track” Cleveland Classical. 

Alexa got her doctorate in New York (SUNY Stony Brook), won competitions including the New York Flute Club Young  Artist Competition, and, East and West Artists Competition and then at 23, returned home as principal flute of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. Other awards include a Churchill
