Hello, I’m Laura Lentz.

I’m a flutist, composer, and teaching artist drawn to listening, curiosity, and discovery. My work spans performance, collaboration, and teaching — engaging audiences while empowering musicians and artists to explore their own voice.

I am also the author of Modal Flute Warmup.
