Known for her beautiful sound and expressive playing, Canadian flautist Mika Putterman loves sharing her passion for research and historical knowledge while performing.
Mika studied at McGill University with Claire Guimond, and received her master’s degree from the Koninklijk Conservatorium of Brussels with Barthold Kuijken and Marc Hantaï. Mika is very active as a chamber and orchestral musician with ensembles across North America, and has recorded extensively for CBC radio, Radio-Canada, Analekta, ATMA Classique, Outhere and early-music.com.
In 2004 she founded the chamber music series Autour de la flûte to showcase the flute in all its forms. Now in its 20th season, ADLF has welcomed over 100 local and international artists to the stage.
