SCO NEWS INTRODUCING BRONTË HUDNOTT! –––––– After a short trial period, Australian flautist Brontë Hudnott has been appointed Sub-Principal Flute of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra! Until now, Brontë has enjoyed a varied freelance career, performing with many of the UK’s leading orchestras, including the Philharmonia, the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Hallé. She was Principal Flute of the Britten-Pears Orchestra in 2015 and the LPO Foyle Future First flautist the same year, with her solo work in the latter role flatteringly highlighted as ‘ravishing’ by the Financial Times. She completed her postgraduate studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London, graduating with distinction and the honorary Dip RAM for an outstanding final recital. Like our Principal Flute, Alison Mitchell, Brontë also hails from Melbourne. Her new desk partner has this to say: “Brontë is the perfect “partner in crime”! She reads my mind and we work perfectly in sync.

I love her sound which blends beautifully with mine and, will bring a distinctiveness to the second flute voice. She is a great asset to our wind section and the Orchestra. I’m really looking forward to performing together and having her in the section.” In addition to her orchestral work, Brontë enjoys performing chamber music whenever possible. When not performing or rehearsing, Brontë loves dancing, gallery-hopping, trying new recipes and exploring the countryside.
