Alicia is a final year BMus flautist at the University of Leeds studying with Jennifer George. For the 2014/15 academic year, she spent a year abroad studying flute with Nikolai Jaeger and piccolo with Benjamin Plag at the Hochschule für Musik ‘Franz Liszt’ Weimar in Germany. During her year, Alicia spent a great deal of time not only improving all technical aspects of her playing but also exploring new musical ideas and expanding her knowledge of pieces beyond the standard core repertoire for flute.
The programme for this concert features less well-known sonatas for flute and piano by the Dutch-Jewish composer Leo Smit and Czech composer Jindřick Feld alongside one of André Jolivet’s most widely performed pieces in the flute repertoire.
