		flute

		Flutist Jeffrey Cohan, who according to the New York Times can "play many superstar flutists one might name under the table,” has performed as soloist in 23 countries, having received international acclaim both as a modern flutist and as one of the foremost specialists on transverse flutes from the Renaissance through the mid-19th century. He won the Erwin Bodky Award in Boston, and the highest prize awarded in the Flanders Festival International Concours Musica Antiqua in Brugge, Belgium with lutenist Stephen Stubbs. First Prize winner of the Olga Koussevitzky Young Artist Awards Competition, he has performed throughout Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the United States, and worldwide for the USIA Arts America Program. Mr. Cohan received the highest rating from the Music Panel of the National Endowment for the Arts, and has recorded for NPR in the United States, and for national radio and television in Germany, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Holland, Fiji and the Solomon Islands. Many works have been written for and premiered by him, including recent flute concertos by Roupen Shakarian, Robert Kechley and Huntley Beyer, all commissioned by and premiered with Orchestra Seattle. Jeffrey Cohan resides in Seattle, where he directs the period instrument concert series Concert Spirituel, and concertizes frequently with OSSCS music director George Shangrow as the Cohan-Shangrow Duo.
