Karen Kevra has won attention as one of the country's outstanding
flutists through her distinctive warm and extroverted performances as
a soloist and chamber musician, and has been hailed as "having a
musical focus and depth seen in few flutists anywhere."
Ms. Kevra's commitment to expanding the modern flute repertoire
includes the premier recording of works by Louis Moyse (Works for flute
and Piano of Louis Moyse-CRI CD888) which earned a 2003 Grammy
nomination and accolades from numerous American Record reviewers.
Fanfare Magazine called the disc, "A must for flute fanciers and anyone
else with ears."
In addition to recent performances on French National Television, at
Carnegie Hall and at the French Embassy in Washington D.C., Ms. Kevra
was invited by violinist/conductor Jaime Laredo to perform as soloist
with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra on their 10 concert "Made In
Vermont" Tour in the Fall of 2003. Her chamber engagements have
included appearances with the Borromeo String Quartet, the Boston
Chamber Music Society, Jaime Laredo-violin, Sharon Robinson-cello,
and Jeffrey Chappell-piano.
Ms. Kevra has recorded for the Albany, CRI, and Elektra labels. She
is the founder and Artistic Director of Capital City Concerts, based in
Montpelier Vermont, where she resides.
