| Principal Flute of The Vancouver
Island Symphony from 1995 to 2006, Jennifer Cluff
holds a Bachelor's degree in Flute Performance
from The University of Toronto's Faculty of
Music, where she studied under Nora Shulman,
Principal Flutist of The Toronto Symphony, and
Douglas Stewart, Principal Flute of the Canadian
Opera Company. Jennifer is also an Associate in
Performance with The Royal Conservatory of Music,
Toronto (A.R.C.T.), where she was the winner of
several notable competitions and scholarships.
Ms. Cluff has appeared on
numerous occasions as a soloist with The
Vancouver Island Symphony, and performs
frequently in recital in Nanaimo, Victoria
and other parts of Vancouver Island as a chamber musician
and as a guest artist in other musical ensembles. She
has attended the masterclasses of Flutists: James
Galway, Jean Pierre Rampal, William Bennett,
Patrick Gallois, Paul Edmund Davies, Susan Hoeppner, Julius Baker,
Jeanne Baxtresser, and jazz
flutist Moe Koffman.
Recently, in 2006, Sir James Galway became intrigued enough to ask to be interviewed live on Fluteloops, Jennifer's mp3 online radio show, as did 'Stagefright in Musical Performance' author Michael Goode.
Ms. Cluff has also acted
as an adjudicator, and been warmly welcomed back
to the Pacific Northwest Music Festival in 2005
and 2008. Jennifer has also taught flute for Malaspina University College and The Nanaimo Conservatory of Music since 1993.
Jennifer's articles on flute playing have recently been published in the United Kingdom's Flutewise magazine (www.flutewise.com). Jen also plays the part of an online Flute-guru (just kidding, really) to hundreds of internet flute lovers, having written dozens of freely downloadable and helpful flute articles on Flutenet.
