Next Flute Ensemble

WARE Markham Flute Ensemble Information:

Flute ensemble is made up entirely of flutes! Depending on the number of participants, the ensemble will include piccolos, flutes, alto flute and bass flute. Students will experience a supportive, non-competitive environment for music making and meet fellow musicians who share a love of flute playing. They will have the opportunity to be inspired and encouraged by both the enthusiastic young soloist Alheli Pimienta and Alexa Ball.  Participants gain valuable experience playing this unique form of chamber music which is sure to impress family and friends at recitals!
The ensemble will perform in January and August on the Ware Academy of Music concerts.

Recognized for her dedication and musicality, Mexican flutist Alheli Pimienta is in demand as a solo performer and chamber musician. She has performed in youth symphonies, student orchestras and professional ensembles throughout Mexico and the US, both as a soloist and flute or piccolo chair. Ms. Pimienta has won numerous student and professional competitions throughout the US and Mexico, including the Gold Medal at the 2005 Crescendo Music Awards and, most recently, second prize at the prestigious 2009 Gildardo Mojica Competition in Mexico City. Alheli graduated from the University of Idaho with Bachelor and Masters degrees in Music Performance.  Prior to that, she completed studies in early childhood music education at the Conservatory of Music and Dance in Monterrey, Mexico where she studied with acclaimed flute professors that inspired her passion for music education. She is currently studying with internationally acclaimed Canadian flutist Susan Hoeppner. Besides her love for performing, Ms. Pimienta enjoys teaching private lessons to students of all ages. The success of her students shows in their young careers by winning competitions and aspiring to become professional concert flutists.
