Flute Fair 2004

Lise Daoust began her training in flute at the Conservatoire de Musique du Québec in Montréal. She pursued her studies in Paris for five years with the pre-eminent Jean-Pierre Rampal, Alain Marion and Christian Lardé. Her performances of contemporary works, especially of Canadian composers, have drawn public attention and many invitations to perform as soloist with Canadian and international contemporary music ensembles. She has been invited to participate in a number of specialized festivals in Canada, Europe and South America. She was awarded the 1988 Flandre-Québec Prize for her outstanding performance of today's music. In November, 1989, she first worked with Kathinka Pasveer and Karlheinz Stockhausen upon his invitation. Her passion for Stockhausen's flute music has led her to undertake significant research into the concept of "dramatized" or "spatial" composition. Lise is principal flutist with the Société de musique contemporaine du Québec as well as being Associate Professor and Associate Dean of Performance at the Université de Montréal's Faculty of Music. She has made several recordings for the ATMA, CBC and Naxos labels.

The New York Concert Review hailed Conor Nelson's New York Debut at Carnegie Hall as being "nothing short of spectacular." A seasoned performer, Conor gave his Canadian debut performing concerti of Bach and Mozart with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra in January, 2001. A recent graduate of the Manhattan School of Music, Conor became one of the youngest woodwind players to win the school-wide concerto competition. Also a winner of Yale's concerto competition, Conor has performed concerti from Bach to Corigliano with orchestras across North America. Conor was sent to the Aspen Music Festival and School by the Minnesota Orchestra as a prizewinner in the WAMSO Young Artists Competition. He was also a prize winner at the New York Flute Club Young Artist Competition and has participated in the NOI, Banff and Brevard summer music festivals. Future engagements include concerto appearances with the National Repertory Orchestra and the Yale Philharmonia. A former student of Ruth Laredo and Linda Chesis, Conor is a graduate student at the Yale School of Music where he studies with Ransom Wilson.
