Flutist Andrea LeBlanc has been praised by Early Music America for her “sensitive and beautiful playing, with crystalline tone and execution [that] made you wonder why it was necessary to invent the Boehm system for flute”. Andrea has performed with ensembles such as Handel and Haydn Society, Boston Baroque, Boston Early Music Festival, Aston Magna, The Sebastians, and the Big Moose Bach Festival, as well as Mercury Houston and Austin Philharmonie. Andrea is the co-founder and co-director of Arpeggione Ensemble, a chamber ensemble bringing innovative, collaborative, multimedia performances of Classical and Romantic music to Boston’s North Shore. Ms. LeBlanc holds a B.Mus. with honors and distinction in performance from New England Conservatory and a M.Mus. from UMass Amherst, where she was a teaching assistant in flute and early music. She spent a year furthering her study of the traverso at the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague.
