Carol Wincenc is a trailblazing American flutist whose vibrant career has left a permanent mark on classical and contemporary music. Known for her lyrical tone and fearless artistry, she’s championed new works for the flute, premiering pieces by giants like Christopher Rouse (whose Flute Concerto she inspired) and Paul Schoenfield—both featured in her discography. A Juilliard-trained powerhouse, she’s performed with top orchestras worldwide, from the New York Philharmonic to the London Symphony, and her playful collaborations span genres (hello, klezmer rondos!). With recordings like *Mozart: The Flute Quartets* and *Harbison: Quintet*, she bridges eras, breathing fresh life into classics while propelling modern sounds. Offstage, she’s nurtured generations of flutists as a beloved professor at Juilliard and Stony Brook University. Fun fact: She even rocks a gold flute named “Excalibur” and earned a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Flute Association. Whether reimagining Mozart sonatas or igniting new commissions, Wincenc remains a flute icon with serious range.
