Celebrated for the voice-like beauty of her playing, Mexican-American flutist and soprano Beatriz Macías is emerging as one of the most versatile figures in the scene of classical music. Macías made her solo debut at the age of eighteen at the prestigious D.A.R. Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., and shortly after was named a Young Performing Artist by the Yamaha Corporation of America. Macías’ career has taken her around the world. As a flutist, Macías has held the Principal Flute position and has appeared with numerous orchestras including the Frankfurt Radio Orchestra, Rotterdam Philharmonic, Luxembourg Chamber Orchestra, Dutch National Ballet & Opera Orchestra, Luxembourg Philharmonic, Royal Opera House ‘La Monnaie’, Royal Flemish Philharmonic, Iceland Symphony, Finnish National Opera, Birmingham Royal Ballet Orchestra, Qatar Philharmonic and the Houston Symphony, to name a few. Currently, Macías holds the position of Principal Flute with the Estonian National Opera and Ballet. Macías is also the founder and Artistic Director of the Tampere Flute Fest in Finland. As a singer, Macías’ lyric coloratura voice is an extension of her instrument. When not performing as a flutist, she performs as a singer. Beatriz holds a Bachelor’s Degree from the Boston Conservatory of Music in Boston, Massachusetts and a Master’s Degree from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels in Belgium.
