After her stellar performance at the 2014 Northern Lights Festival, Susan Hoeppner has returned to thrill local audiences once again with her amazing talent.
Hoeppner is one of Canada’s most eminent flutists and appreciated for being a “born soloist” (Globe & Mail), where “one can almost hear the words in her flute song” (Washington Post). She maintains a busy schedule as an international solo recitalist and chamber musician. She was recently nominated for a Juno award, Canada’s highest musical honour, for her latest recording “American Flute Masterpieces” on the Marquis Classics label with pianist Lydia Wong.
In 2012, Hoeppner became a newly appointed Wm. S. Haynes Artist, the world-renowned flute company based in Boston, and with this partnership will represent them through performances, master classes and other appearances. Internationally, she makes appearances as guest soloist, recitalist, and conducts master classes throughout Japan, North America, South America and Mexico. She recently performed a new concerto written for her by Canadian composer Christos Hatzis titled “Departures: Concerto for Flute and String Orchestra.” The world premiere was in Japan, together with the Kyoto Symphony.
Hoeppner is often invited to perform at Canadian embassies worldwide, and regularly features a repertoire of esteemed Canadian composers. Closer to home, every summer Hoeppner teaches at Le Domaine Forget Music Academy in Quebec, as well as the Julius Baker Master class in New York.
A graduate of the Juilliard School in New York, Hoeppner is currently a member of the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Music and the Royal Conservatory of Music’s Glenn Gould School. She is based in Toronto and can be found online at www.susanhoeppner.com.
