Flautist Lina Andonovska is a leading performer of her generation, equally at ease with interpreting notated scores, collected sounds and spontaneous improvisation. She has performed with some of the world’s most important voices in art music and is flautist with 4 x Grammy Award-winning ensemble Eighth Blackbird (USA).
Debut album out now.
Featuring ‘Bridget’ by Donnacha Dennehy, ‘A Breathe of Fresh Air’ by Judith Ring and new works for amplified bass flute and drum kit by Nick Roth and Barry O’Halpin.
“Andonovska’s control of her instrument is immediately applaudable and the cyclonic energy of her playing commands an intensity of listening that is rare to encounter. Equally strong as an artist and a technician, it is the former that shines through and defines Andonovska as one of Australia’s leading artists, collaborators and curators.”
- Music Trust of Australia
"…we are treated to a brief yet brilliant rendition, largely thanks to Australian flautist Lina Andonovska who drives the performance with wonderfully extroverted command throughout...bolstered with remarkable accuracy by the (Deutsches Kammerorchester) via Dean as conductor, Andonovska’s wunderkind display is a real highlight this evening."

The musicians of Eighth Blackbird were mesmerizing to watch and utterly committed to the music. They played with exuberance…
"It is rare indeed to be transported by music so glorious, so seemingly endless that your only wish is to capture the moment to avoid the inevitable ending of an enthralling experience."
