About this user

Described by critics as "masterful" and "evocative," flutist Christine Erlander Beard is constantly in demand as a soloist, chamber artist, and clinician. Quickly achieving international recognition as a performer and advocate for the piccolo, she has performed extensively across the U.S. and Europe, including eight of the previous ten conventions of the National Flute Association (2002-2011); the 2011 European Piccolo Festival in Slovenia; the 2010 International Flute Festival in Manosuqe, France; and the 2008 British Flute Society International Convention. Domestically, Christine has served as a guest artist at flute festivals in MO, PA, AL, IA, VT, AR and KS. Upcoming engagements include the 2012 British Flute Society International Convention, the 2012 Canadian Flute Society Festival, and the 2013 International Flute Festival in Costa Rica.

As a chamber musician, Christine has recently recorded for two CDs which will be available in 2011: The first is a CD featuring Jean-Louis Beaumaider on a piccolo trio by Nancy Nourse; the second, for a CD of French music for oboe featuring Michelle Vigneau on the Damase "Trio" for flute, oboe and piano.

In addition to her active performance schedule, Christine is the Piccolo Artist for Gemeinhardt Flutes and in that role has presented piccolo clinics and lecture-recitals at state music conferences and flute festivals across the U.S. An expert on music 19th century music for piccolo, she has lectured on topic at the International Wind Music History Symposium (2006) and the American Musical Instrument Society International Conference at Yale (2007). A contributing editor for the Flutist Quarterly, her pedagogical articles and columns have been published in Flute Talk, the Flutist Quarterly, Flutewise, and The Instrumentalist, and her arrangement of Eugene Damare's "The Wren Polka" for solo piccolo and band has enjoyed performances across the U.S. and Europe.

In 2007, Christie founded the bi-annual International Piccolo Symposium, an intense 4 day workshop held at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. The goal of IPS is to bring piccolo players and enthusiasts together from all over the world to learn about and discuss solo, chamber and orchestral music featuring the piccolo, and pedagogical issues specific to the piccolo, led by some of the world's leading piccolo players (see http://www.youtube.com/ipsorg or www.piccolosymposium.com).

Dr. Beard earned her MM and DMA in flute performance from The University of Texas at Austin (1998, 2003). She joined the faculty at the University of Nebraska at Omaha in 2002 where she teaches applied flute, chamber music, and serves as Coordinator of Woodwind Studies.
