Through my compositions, my music, my art & my flute, I seek to connect everything in the universe. My musical approach to the artistic moment is conveyed in ‘Syrinx at the Waterhole Karnak’ (from my album Flute Spirit: Dreams and Meditations)
Listening to relaxing piano music with the beautiful flute sounds is fast becoming a popular mental health tonic in these challenging times, due to its proven ability to stimulate alpha brain waves. I released my first solo album, Nocturnes and Preludes for Flute with legendary pianist Gerard Willems, I had the intention of creating a mental health tonic to de-stress and relax music lovers.
We musicians are self-sufficient: as a flutist I have always spent a significant amount of time on my own practising joyfully every day. This more placid pace has afforded me extra time… It’s also provided me the opportunity to work on projects I’d set aside due to my frenetic existence.
Peter Cousens is a singer who is a natural musician. A singer who open their mouths and without artifice or ego, the music just pours out. Speaking of flute fun: Check out Evening Stars team Flute and Voice having a flute-versus voice warm-up before a concert.

So thrilled to see such a big turnout, the day involved brilliant activities and circus performances by members of Wilde Applause Creative Productions, three talks by Giovanna Cilento Volpe and myself and three flute performances.
As a young woman, I met the inimitable Diane Cilento, who during her life guided me on many different paths of inspiration. The flute music piece is called ‘blo’ from album Titania’s Dream, commissioned by Diane for her production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
I love music that has a melodic and harmonic narrative. My new #WorldMusic Album #ThirdCulture is a good example – John Huie’s gorgeous pieces (for flute, guitar, Chinese banjo, percussion and bass) take us on an evocative journey… Xiao Ma means Little Horse
