20 November RECORDER DREAMS

20 November 2010 at 12 p.m. pst, 3 p.m. est. 2100 Suisse. The Early Music Group will be presenting Eveline Noth, a rising start of the European music scene. Early and modern repetoire are the strengths of this wonderful musician. If you would like to hear all the possibilitys of the recorder please don’t miss this free audio concert on internet.

Eveline started playing the recorder when she was 6 and never stopped.

As a child, she also played the clarinet and the traverse flute, but this special feeling, when the air goes through these little holes, the sound - no other instrument could compete with the recorder!

Eveline studied the recorder at the Universities of Biel and Zürich and got a degree in teaching and performance practice from Carsten Eckert and Kees Boecke. She presently teaches at the Conservatories in Fribourg and Bern as well as at the University of Arts in Bern (Switzerland.)
