Australian flutist Ana de la Vega has recently leapt onto the international classical music scene, attracting unbridled attention for her “crystal-clear” and “velvety tone” (NDR Kultur), “superior, masterful technique” (Fono Forum), “feathery-light playing” (Der Spiegel), and “unobtrusive virtuosity” (Pizzicato).
Her debut recording of Mozart and Mysliveček flute concertos with the English Chamber Orchestra won Classic FM’s “Best Albums of 2018” No. 3, reached No. 1 on Amazon’s Classical Best Seller chats, and won CD of the week seven times over. Her second album of Haydn and Stamitz concertos with oboist Ramón Ortega Quero and the Trondheim Soloists, makes a similar splash with international press unanimously marvelling at their “Perfect Harmony” (NDR) and “grace and elegance” (WELT): “the harmony between the two soloists… is almost dizzying” (RBB).
She studied flute at the University of Sydney before continuing her studies at the Conservatoire Supérieur de Paris under the tutelage of Raymond Guiot and Catherine Cantin, drawing inspiration from the famed French school of flute playing.
Ana de la Vega is the Artistic Director of the Snow Hall in Canberra. She is also the worldwide ambassador for Altus hand-crafted Japanese flutes.
