Emma Resmini, age 14, has soloed with the Dallas Symphony (TX), National Symphony (DC), Pittsburgh Symphony (PA), and McLean Orchestra (VA), earning praise for her “dazzling technique” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) and “immense talent... and obvious genius” (D Magazine). 2014 concerto appearances include the Corpus Christi Chamber Orchestra (NY), Laredo Philharmonic Rising Stars Concert (TX), the Shenandoah Valley Bach Festival (VA) and the Summer Music Institute at the Kennedy Center (Washington, DC). She is a frequent performer on the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage, as both a soloist and a chamber musician. Recent solo recitals include: the Shenandoah Valley Bach Festival; Music at PennAlps; Musician’s Resource Center; Rock Creek Chamber Music Series; Flute Society of Washington; and the Concerts at the Alden. With a worldwide following, Emma’s classical flute videos have millions of views on YouTube and across social media. She is also the featured artist on the Candlewood Media recording of works for flute and piano by William K. Brehm, and an additional disc of arrangements for flute, violin and piano.
 
Emma attends the Curtis Institute of Music, studying with Philadelphia Orchestra Principal Flutist Jeffrey Khaner. Having completed three years of residency, Emma is the youngest member ever accepted to the National Symphony Orchestra Youth Fellowship, and a long-time student of NSO flutist Alice Kogan Weinreb. Additional highlights include: 2013 and 2012 James Galway Flute Festivals; National 1st prize winner of the 2012 Music Teachers National Association Woodwind Competition; invited performer at the 2011 and 2009 National Flute Association Conventions (US); and featured performer on From the Top (National Public Radio).  Emma is from Fairfax, Virginia.

Alice Kogan Weinreb grew up in New Rochelle, NY and was a member of the NYFC at age 11. While in high school, Alice played principal flute with the Westchester Philharmonic Orchestra under Franco Autori and the Rye Chamber Orchestra under Arthur Weisberg. She studied privately with Lois Schaefer (then principal with the NYC Opera) and James Pappoutsakis. After earning her BA from Brandeis University, Ms. Weinreb studied with Fernand Caratgé at the École Normale de Musique in Paris, France on a Fulbright fellowship and was awarded a Premier Prix in flute. Returning to the US, she became principal flutist of the Rhode Island Philharmonic, earned an MA in music at American University, and played piccolo with the Richmond Symphony before joining the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) in 1979. Ms. Weinreb is a founding member and solo flutist of the Eclipse Chamber Orchestra, with which she premiered flute concertos by two NSO composers, and the Capitol Woodwind Quintet, with which she recorded A Musical Toast on the Americus label. She can also be heard on the CRI recording of Margaret Brouwer's Diary of an Alien for solo flute. In the summers, she performs at the Grand Teton Music Festival in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. A dedicated and highly sought-after teacher, she is on the faculty of the Catholic University of America and teaches in the National Symphony Youth Fellowship program.

Since her debut concert with the Seoul National Symphony Orchestra at age 20, pianist Bora Lee has toured as a solo and chamber musician throughout Italy, Canada, the Czech Republic, and the United States in venues including Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and the Embassy of Poland in Washington D.C. Bora holds a DMA and MM in piano performance from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and a BM from Yonsei University in Korea. Her teachers include Eugene Pridonoff, Elizabeth Pridonoff, Sandra Rivers, and Guem-Bong Kim. She has won first prizes in the American Protégé International Piano Competition, the OMTA Piano Competition, and the Korean National Youth Music Competition, and been a winner in the Samick Piano Competition and the Korean Piano Society Competition. An experienced collaborative pianist, she has served as a staff collaborative pianist in the US at the Aspen Music Festival and School and in South Korea at the Great Mountain International Music Festival and School.
