"Biography of Jean Antrim"

Jean Antrim has had a varied musical career. As a scholarship student she studied at Syracuse University and at the New School in New York City. Her private teachers include Murray Panitz, 1st chair with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Frances Blaisdell, and noted soloist and recitalist Sam Baron.

She has concertized extensively on the east coast as a soloist and chamber musician and has made numerous appearances with some of the leading symphony orchestras in the east.

Of her performances in a Carnegie Recital Hall concert, Robert Jones of the New York Times said that she ... "came through her ordeal of virtually non-stop flute playing beautifully. She sounded like one of the more promising flutists of the younger generation."

Since Jean relocated to New Hampshire in 2005, she is the first chair flutist with a concert band, flute choir and director-founder of "LyricFlutes in Concert", a chamber music group specializing in repertoire especially written for 2, 3, 4 or 5 flutes, sometimes in concert with organ, piano, harpsichord, or other woodwinds. She also maintains teaching studios in Exeter, NH, and Rockport, MA.

Whether you are a beginner, as I once was, or a professional as I am today, I am able to offer you a unique comfort level as you seek "the right flute". From beginners, who should want their experience to be well guided, to the professionals who live their lives with their flutes and require the utmost skill, I am able to provide that for you. I hope that you enjoy viewing my site and I look forward to hearing from you.
