Guest artist
Alexa’s
many recordings on the Koch International Classics label have garnered unanimous
praise: “impeccable in technique and taste, seductive in phrasing” (Stephensen
Classical C D Guide). “Still plays... so convincingly I cannot separate her from
the music” (American Record Guide), “whatever she plays sounds musical in every
turn of the phrase” (Gramophone), “a stunning showcase for the astonishing Alexa
Still” (Fanfare). Alexa studied in New York (SUNY Stony Brook), won competitions
including the New York Flute Club Young Artist Competition, and, East and West
Artists Competition and then returned home as principal flute of the New Zealand
Symphony Orchestra at the age of 23. Other awards include a Churchill Fellowship
and a Fulbright. She eventually left the NZSO to devote more time to solo
engagements and teaching, based first at the University of Colorado at Boulder,
then the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, and now at Oberlin Conservatory, USA.
Alexa has performed and taught in England, Germany, Slovenia, Turkey, Mexico,
Venezuela, Brazil, Canada, Korea, China, Australia, New Zealand, and of course
across the United States. Alexa has also served her profession as President of
the National Flute Association (USA), and regularly writes for flute journals
across the globe. Her flute was made by Brannen Brothers with gold or wooden
headjoints by Sanford Drelinger. When her flute is in its case, Alexa is an avid
motorcyclist, and she shares a daughter and two dogs with her husband. You can
read much more about Alexa on her
website.
