Flutist Nicole Schroeder has performed dynamic solo recitals across the country from
Massachusetts to Oregon. First Prize Winner of the 2014 International Shining Stars
Concerto Competition, Nicole recently performed as a soloist with the New York
Concerti Sinfonietta at Carnegie Hall and the DiMenna Center. Of her Carnegie Hall
debut the Epoch Times wrote, “Schroeder played with a beautiful, well-projected tone
undiluted by excess air, as well as subtly understated dynamics and lyrical phrasing.”
Nicole has played a wide range of venues in NYC, including Merkin Hall, Steinway Hall,
Guggenheim Museum, Skirball Center, the cell, and The Bitter End. Nicole is Principal
Flutist and Piccoloist of the Northern Tier Symphony Orchestra and has performed with
New York Opera Exchange, Joffrey Ballet, Berks Opera Company, Garden State
Philharmonic, One World Symphony, and the SymphoNYChorus. She is featured on
rock band Symfinity’s debut album Intangible Dreams and collaborated with Seann
Branchfield on the Branchfield/Schroeder Duo album Gateway in 2012. An avid musical
theatre fan, Nicole specializes in auxiliary flutes and has played with innumerable pit
orchestras in New York and Pennsylvania.
In addition to maintaining a busy performance schedule, Nicole enjoys teaching flute in
her private studio and as a Teaching Artist for Arts Connection in NYC. She was
previously on the faculty of the Geneva Conservatory of Music in Manhattan, the
Community School of Music and the Arts in Reading, PA, and the Governor Mifflin
After-School Music Program in Shillington, PA. Nicole holds a Masters of Music degree
in Flute Performance from New York University, where she studied with Bradley Garner.
