First prize winner of the Walter W. Naumburg Solo Flute Competition, GRAMMY® award-winner, and 2011 Lifetime Achievement Award recipient from the National Flute Association, Carol Wincenc celebrated her 2010 Ruby Anniversary with enthusiastic reviews from the New Yorker, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Performance Today. She has given premières of concertos written for her by Lukas Foss, Henryk Górecki, Joan Tower, Paul Schoenfield, Jake Heggie, Peter Schickele, Roberto Sierra and Tobias Picker. She is a prolific recording artist. Her Telarc recording of Pulitzer Prize winner Christopher Rouse’s Flute Concerto with the Houston Symphony won the coveted Diapason d’Or award while her Naxos recording of Griffes’s Poem for flute and orchestra (8.559164), with her hometown orchestra, the Buffalo Philharmonic, conducted by JoAnn Falletta, received a Gramophone ‘Editor’s Choice’. Her début album on Music Masters, on which she is accompanied by András Schiff, was cited by Stereo Review as a ‘Recording of Special Merit’. She has appeared as concerto soloist with leading orchestras throughout the United States and performed at music festivals in Aldeburgh, Budapest, Frankfurt, Santa Fe, Spoleto, Banff, Sarasota and elsewhere. She continues teaching at both Stony Brook University and her alma mater, The Juilliard School.
