Hello, I’m Laura Lentz.
I’m a flutist, composer, and teaching artist who loves curiosity, listening, and discovery. I aim to create spaces for deep listening, creative exploration, and meaningful connection—whether through performance, collaboration, or teaching. I’m also the author of Modal Flute Warmup.
Currently:
Listen, together:
Join for a Rochester concert of varied music for flute in a special concert as Laura starts a new chapter in Salt Lake City, Utah, at the end of the summer. She will begin her doctorate in flute performance at the University of Utah.
“I use your book Modal Flute Warmup in my studio - it’s sitting up there with the greats!”
“Enviable control and supple phrasing.”
“Through her keen musical insights, demonstration, and outstanding communication, she brought each student to the next level. ”
