ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Praised by the Cleveland Plain Dealer for her “superb command of color and nuance,” Elise Blatchford is the associate professor of flute at the University of Memphis Scheidt School of Music in Tennessee.

A chamber musician, soloist, orchestral musician, and teacher, Blatchford 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. Blatchford has appeared with the International Contemporary Ensemble in New York and at the Banff Centre for Creativity in Alberta, Canada.

As a recitalist, Blatchford frequently programs music of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and has been an invited guest at venues across the United States, 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, Blatchford served as guest principal flute for the Memphis Symphony Orchestra's 2018–19 season. She has performed with the Oregon Symphony, the Phoenix Symphony, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, Iris Orchestra, and the Youth Orchestra of the Americas (YOA). With YOA she toured extensively throughout South America, the Caribbean, and mainland China, made an appearance at Carnegie Hall, and recorded with Philip Glass.

Blatchford holds degrees in flute performance from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and the San Francisco Conservatory. A Powell Artist, she performs on a 14K gold handmade Powell flute.
