Shatin & the Flute: Interview in the Flute Examiner

This in-depth interview in the Flute Examiner  covers a lot of territory: Judith”s call to a life in music; her inspirations,  commissioning process, advice to young composers and much more! Flute and piano, both of the instruments she studied as a child, have both remained central to her and figure in a large body of her music. Further, her collaborations with flutists, including Lindsey Goodman, Patricia Spencer, Renee Siebert and Julia Bogorad, all enriched her understanding of the instrument, as did her own experimentation and exploration of the ever-expanding repertoire. Her flute music has been performed and recorded by Lindsey Goodman, Patricia Spencer, and Laurel Zucker while performances also include Mehrdad Gholami”s interpretation of Ruah at the Aspen Music Festival. Judith, together with composer Timothy Vincent Clark,  was also instrumental in the creation of  The American Flute, a volume with an array of contemporary pieces for adventuresome high school and college students.
