Listen, Together ~ Laura Lentz, Flute & Friends

Join for a concert of varied music for flute in a special concert as Laura starts a new chapter in Salt Lake City, Utah, at the end of the summer.

About Laura: Laura Lentz is a flutist, composer, and teaching artist drawn to listening, curiosity,  and discovery. The author of Modal Flute Warmup, her work spans performance, collaboration, and teaching — engaging audiences while empowering musicians and artists to explore their own voice.

Known for her expressive playing and vibrant curiosity, she has commissioned, premiered, and recorded a wide range of new works, many written specifically for her. Her solo recordings include commissioned music by Missy Mazzoli, Marc Mellits, and JacobTV, with premiere performances featured on Performance Today. Her playing has been praised for its “striking, meticulous flute playing” (Take Effect) and “enviable control and supple phrasing” (Sequenza21).

As a founding flutist and Artistic Director of the new music ensemble fivebyfive (2015-2025) and through her solo projects, Lentz creates performances that bring new music into dialogue with visual art, science, movement, and community spaces. All her programming is created with the aim of inviting audiences to listen deeply, feel moved, and connect with the experience of new music. In 2025, she received support from the Netherlands America Foundation and the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts, culminating in her recording Serendipity. Other projects have been supported by New Music USA, Chamber Music America, and the New York State Council on the Arts.
