About the artist

ADRIANNE GREENBAUM, Professor of Flute at Mount Holyoke College, and recognized as the “Queen of Klezmer Flute,” is the foremost purveyor of the klezmer flute tradition. Having reached international acclaim as both a klezmer and classical flutist, she performs on modern, traverso and 19th c. flutes. Greenbaum has performed in many national and international festivals and conventions: as soloist with orchestra at the National Flute Convention, solo recitals at the British Flute Convention, full concerts in the KlezMore Festival in Vienna, and tours in the USA, Scotland and Poland.

Having received graduate degrees from the Oberlin College Conservatory and Yale University School of Music, she has held professorships at several colleges and universities – currently Mount Holyoke, and formerly Smith, Yale and Wesleyan.

Greenbaum began her career as a classical musician, maintaining her presence in the field performing recitals at universities and conventions, and as principal flutist of both the New Haven Symphony (recently retired) and Orchestra New England. Highlights of her presence in the classical arena included many years performing with the NewYork City Ballet Orchestra, performances with New York’s Mostly Mozart Festival, and as principal flutist with Berlin Ballet at the Met. She can be heard in recordings of her own classical solo album, Sounds of America, as well as several klezmer titles - Fleytmuzik, Farewell to the Homeland: Poyln, and Family Portrait.
