PERFORMER BIOS Prize-winning flutist Dr. Brittany Trotter leads a diverse career as an educator, soloist, and collaborator. She is the Assistant Professor of Practice in Flute at the University of the Pacific’s Conservatory of Music in Stockton, CA. Trotter has been awarded top prizes in numerous national and regional competitions including competing as a semi-finalist in the 2017 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and recipient of the NFA’s 2020 Graduate Research Competition for her dissertation entitled, Examining Music Hybridity and Cultural Influences in Valerie Coleman’s Wish Sonatine and Fanmi Imen.

She regularly performs, teaches, and guest lectures throughout the United States. She has performed and presented at numerous music festivals including the National Flute Association Convention where she was a featured soloist in the 2020 virtual summer series celebration concert series. Equally versed in both post-classical contemporary and traditional repertoire, Trotter has performed in the flute sections of the Colour of Music Festival, Stockton Symphony Orchestra, Johnstown Symphony Orchestra and Westmoreland Symphony.

Trotter is currently the program chair of the Mid-Atlantic Flute convention and the National Flute Association’s Junior Soloist Competition coordinator. She also serves on the development committee of the Umoja Flute Institute, NFA’s career and artistic development committee, and is the publicity chair for the Flute New Music Consortium.

Oboist and electronic musician Kyle Bruckmann tramples genre boundaries in widely ranging work as a composer/ performer, educator, and New Music specialist. His creative output – extending from conservatory-trained foundations into gray areas encompassing free jazz, post-punk rock, and the noise underground – can be heard on more than 100 recordings from labels such as New World, Hat Art, Carrier, New Focus, Entr’acte, Not Two, Clean Feed, Another Timbre, 482Music and Sick Room.

Since moving to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2003, he has performed as a substitute with the San Francisco Symphony and most of the area’s regional orchestras while remaining active within an international community of improvisers and sound artists. From 1996 until his Western relocation, he was a fixture in Chicago’s thriving experimental music scene. Current ensemble affiliations include Splinter Reeds, San Francisco Contemporary Music Players, Eco Ensemble, Quinteto Latino, sfSound, and the Stockton Symphony; the most significant projects he has led or collaboratively founded include Degradient, EKG, Lozenge, and Wrack.

He is now Assistant Professor of Practice in Oboe and Contemporary Music at University of the Pacific, and also teaches at UC Santa Cruz, Davis and Berkeley.
