Patti Monson

"I explore new sounds and extended techniques for the flute. In the new flute works I commission, I encourage composers to use multiphonics, extended voice sounds or spoken text, electronics, video, processed or delayed with implied counterpoint or harmony, or pre-recorded flutes."

Monson's guest performances include Pittsburgh's Music on the Edge Series, New York's Bang On a Can Marathon and Banglewood, Locrian Chamber Players, Modern Works, The Asia Society, Music At The Anthology, The Sonic Boom Festival, June in Buffalo, Festival in the Hamptons, Music from China, Lincoln Center Summer Festival, Lake Placid Institute for the Arts, Houston Contemporary Arts Festival, Flute Force, Gaudeamus Festival, and Spoleto.
