Rachel Gauk

**Rachel Gauk** is a talented classical flutist known for her elegant interpretations and collaborative spirit. With a focus on both traditional and contemporary repertoire, she’s carved out a niche blending classical precision with subtle world-music influences. Her recent releases, like *Takemitsu: Toward the Sea* and *Histoire Du Tango*, highlight her knack for pairing flute with guitar, often collaborating with artists like guitarist Matthew Featherstone to breathe life into evocative pieces by composers such as Toru Takemitsu and Astor Piazzolla.

Gauk’s versatility shines through projects like *Scarlatti: Sonatas*, where she adapts keyboard works for flute, and *Panorama*, a collection showcasing her ability to hop between Baroque, Latin, and modern minimalist styles. Whether she’s diving into the folk-inspired *Danzas Y Canciones* or the meditative *My Angel*, Rachel brings a warm, lyrical touch to every note, making her a standout voice in today’s chamber music scene.
