Zoomflute

Flutist Shanna Pranaitis fearlessly expands the realm of sonic possibility for her instruments through innovative projects, in which she integrates new and historically reimagined works with multi-disciplinary elements to create seamless, immersive concert experiences. She explores ways to engage a wider community in the process of experiencing music. She works in close collaboration with composers, poets, movement artists, and other interdisciplinary artists, around the world to develop new work. Shanna performs and teaches globally as a soloist and chamber musician. In 2017, she co-curated and co-organized the first multi-day festival of Galina Ustvolskaya’s music in the United States. She is the co-founder of FluteXpansions, the first comprehensive e-learning platform contemporary flute performance practice for composers and performers. Her debut solo CD of Claus-Steffen Mahnkopf’s works for flute (NEOS) has been hailed as “remarkable” and a “virtuoso testimony.”
