Being on tour all the time with my orchestra and my solo career, I am given the opportunity to travel the world. Whenever in New York City, I always make time to visit Phil and the crew at the Flute Center. What is fascinating to me is the people I always meet there : The Flute Center of New York is truly the world's Mecca for flutists from every walk of life and from every corner of the globe. Just today I helped a saxophone player choose a flute! On my last visit, I assisted a famous NBA basketball legend choose an instrument. Tomorrow, who knows? Hopefully we will meet at FCNY where they have the largest selection of flutes around. See you there!
