Flutist Adrianne Greenbaum’s career as an early music specialist, orchestral and chamber player, teacher/professor/mentor, composer and arranger, and revivalist/purveyor of the klezmer flute tradition, spans nearly five decades. She has toured extensively in the US and  Europe with her ensemble FleytMuzik, performing on wood flutes from the 18th and 19th centuries, and Boehm system flutes when the klezmer repertoire is too much to navigate with simple system flutes.

As a performer and educator, Ms. Greenbaum has given workshops and concerts in Dusseldorf, Paris, Vienna, Poland, Scotland, Germany, and throughout the US. Masterclasses have focused on baroque and simple jazz improvisation techniques and include The Baroque Fantasy and the Art of Preluding. Teaching residencies include Klezkamp, Boxwood, KlezmerQuerque, Klezkanada, New Horizons, and NEMC. Ms. Greenbaum can be heard on her award-winning FleytMuzik (3rd release in July 2016) and Klezical Tradition klezmer albums, and her classical record Sounds of America.

Ms. Greenbaum was solo flutist with the New Haven Symphony (37 years) and Orchestra New England (30 years) and is currently professor of music at Mount Holyoke College, where she directs her own summer week of World Chamber Music and Improv camp. Her degrees are from Oberlin (BM) and Yale (MM) and she lives and has a private studio in Fairfield, CT.
