Robert Aitken
Robert Aitken is a Canadian flutist, composer, and conductor celebrated for his fierce dedication to contemporary classical music and adventurous interpretations of Baroque works. Born in 1939, this iconic musician co-founded Toronto’s groundbreaking New Music Concerts ensemble in 1971, championing experimental works and collaborating with giants like R. Murray Schafer and Henry Brant (both featured in his recent releases). Aitken’s flute wizardry shines through his recordings of J.S. Bach’s sonatas, Stamitz concertos, and mind-bending modern pieces like Crumb’s *Vox Balaenae*, blending technical precision with playful curiosity. Whether breathing new life into 18th-century classics or tackling avant-garde whale-song-inspired compositions, his career spans decades of reshaping how we hear the flute – one weird, wonderful note at a time.
