Ellen Burr is a masterful flutist who explores new directions in music. Her enthusiasm, coupled with experience and a multi-faceted career, has won her worldwide acclaim in performance, teaching, improvisation and composition. As an energetic and entertaining flute performer, Ellen strives to broaden the sound capabilities of the instrument while challenging the notions of what a soloist can achieve. Her dedication to promoting improvisation and contemporary classical music is also reflected in her numerous and diverse ensemble and recording appearances. Jim Santella of Cadence Magazine said of Ellen′s unique approach to her instrument and music: "[…] creative artists such as Burr, who turn the flute into a tool for exploration, give their audience a wide range of aural experiences." Where Am I From, Where Am I Going, a collection of free improvisations was recorded during Ellen's year as Visiting Assistant Professor of Music Theory at Wichita State University and was released in 2013. Ellen says, "This recording is dedicated to the Wichita State University teachers who gave me the love and skill to pursue music: Frances Shelly, flute; Walter Mays, composition; and Arthur Wolff, who introduced me to free improvisation." Released on pfMENTUM Records, Duos features: Ellen Burr, C flute, alto flute and piccolo Michael Unruh, bass clarinet
