The Seattle Flute Society is excited to present Hadar Noiberg in a one-of-a-kind concert and performance workshop! She will perform alongside pianist Jovino Santos Neto, then lead audience members in her uniquely tailored "Self-Sufficient Flutist" workshop. All attendees should bring their flutes and be ready to participate!

​

Part of the workshop will focus on Milton Nascimento's "Encontros e Despedidas." Attendees are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the melody and chordal structure of this piece in advance!

​

Hadar Noiberg describes her unique performance workshop:

 

The Self Sufficient Flutist is a teaching method I have developed and used both in my private practice as well as in flute workshops around the world. Its goal is to help flutists strengthen their musical independence and understanding of the various musical elements (melody, rhythm, harmony) and how they interact.

​

My class is suitable for both Classical and Jazz flutists (and all other musical genres). I come from a background of playing in orchestras and chamber ensembles as well as touring internationally with my own original projects where I both compose the music and improvise. 

​

The idea for the class sprouted from my own experience of studying classical flute as well as jazz and realizing that there’s a gap in the way classical and jazz flutists are taught. This gap is preventing classical flutists from gaining more freedom with their instrument through deeper understanding of harmony and groove and, at the same time, preventing jazz flutists from having a deeper understanding about their technique, breath, tone and how to use it to their advantage.

​​

My workshop is very interactive and is changing depending on the flutists in front of me. My goal is to connect to the flutists in front of me and make them feel comfortable enough to then take them out of their comfort zone. I see how flutists feel more comfortable with being playful and getting to know the multiple layers of music in a fun way and the benefit that it gives them. This gives me passion and a sense of purpose.

This will be the first time the duo has ever played together!
