Nicole Schroeder, Flutist

Flutist Nicole Schroeder made her Carnegie Hall debut as First Prize Winner of the 2014 International Shining Stars Concerto Competition. According to the Epoch Times, “Schroeder played with a beautiful, well-projected tone undiluted by excess air, as well as subtly understated dynamics and lyrical phrasing.” Nicole frequently plays flute in the Broadway show Wicked and performs with a number of other groups in NY, NJ, and PA, including Northern Tier Symphony Orchestra, New York Opera Exchange, Joffrey Ballet, Berks Opera Company, Berks Sinfonietta, Garden State Philharmonic, One World Symphony, and the Greenwich Village Orchestra. She has recorded with rock band Symfinity and collaborated with Seann Branchfield on the Branchfield/Schroeder Duo album Gateway. In addition to maintaining a busy performance schedule, Nicole enjoys teaching flute in her private studio, as a Teaching Artist for Arts Connection in NYC, and at various camps and clinics in NY and PA. She also serves on the board of the New York Flute Club. Nicole holds a Masters of Music degree in Flute Performance from New York University, where she studied with Bradley Garner.
