Praised by the Cleveland Plain Dealer for her “superb command of color and nuance,” Elise Blatchford is a chamber musician, soloist, orchestral musician and educator. She is a flutist who embraces the independent, the experimental, and the DIY.
As a founding member of the new music woodwind quintet The City of Tomorrow, Blatchford won first prize at the 2011 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and received a Chamber Music America Classical Commissioning grant in 2014. The quintet tours nationally and has enjoyed residencies at Yale, Tufts, Vermont College of Fine Arts, and Williams College.
As a recitalist, Blatchford frequently programs music of the 20th and 21st centuries, and has been an invited guest at venues across the U.S., including the Dame Myra Hess Series at the Chicago Cultural Center, Yale University, the University of Oregon and Virginia Tech. Also at home in the traditional orchestra world, she served as Guest Principal Flute for the Memphis Symphony Orchestra's 2018-19 season. A Powell Artist, she performs on a 14K gold handmade Powell flute.
