Best known for her moving and virtuosic performances on a wide range of flutes and recorders, Rachel Brown is an acknowledged authority on historical performance practice, an inspirational teacher and an entertaining and illuminating speaker.
While training on modern flute at Manchester University and the Royal Northern College of Music with Trevor Wye, she won numerous prizes leading to performances of flute concertos by Ibert and Nielsen. She went on to win the National Flute Association’s Young Artist Competition. However, her interest in early music had already been captured by her recorder teacher, Ross Winters, and naturally led to study of the baroque flute with Lisa Beznosiuk and Stephen Preston and an exploration of the many diverse classical and nineteenth-century flutes.
Rachel Brown has also had a long and distinguished career as an orchestral player; first, on silver flute, with the orchestra of Kent Opera and for many years as principal flute with the Academy of Ancient Music, the Hanover Band, the Kings Consort, Collegium Musicum 90, Ex Cathedra, and the Brandenburg Consort.
She taught for many years at the Royal Northern College of Music, the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, and the Birmingham Conservatoire and as lecturer in classical studies at the Guildhall School. She is currently professor of baroque flute at the Royal College of Music. Brown is author of the Cambridge University Press handbook The Early Flute and has composed cadenzas for the new Bärenreiter edition of the Mozart lfute concertos.
Rachel Brown has recently launched Uppernote, her own recording label and publishing house, with a recording of the complete Telemann Fantasias and Private Passion, Quantz sonatas composed for Frederick the Great. Her website features an article (PDF, requires Acrobat Reader) on the Telemann Fantasias that complements her upcoming recital. Please visit the Werner Icking Music Archive for images from the first edition of the Fantasias.
