Lina Andonovska – flautist

Curiosity, fearlessness and versatility carry Lina Andonovska’s artistry around the globe. Andonovska is a rare breed in the flute world; a name that you’ll discover on both the pages of Rolling Stone and the Australian Chamber Orchestra roster, she has not only cultivated partnerships with leading composers including Louis Andriessen, Donnacha Dennehy and flautist Claire Chase, but also deep community ties from Timor-Leste to Tokyo’s incubator Wonder Site.

She is flautist of 4 time Grammy Award-winning ensemble Eighth Blackbird. She has collaborated with some of the most important ensembles of today including Crash Ensemble, Deutsches Kammerorchester, Ensemble Modern, Ensemble Recherche, and stargaze. She is critically acclaimed for her interpretation of new music; Rolling Stone Magazine hailed her performance at Bang On A Can Summer Festival as “superbly played, (ranging) from sustained ‘somebody-please-get-that-tea-kettle’ squeaks to the flit and flutter of its beautifully lilting trills…”

As an orchestral player she has worked with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Australian Chamber Orchestra, Ulster Orchestra, Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, Southbank Sinfonia and most of Australia’s symphony orchestras. She currently performs as Principal Flute with Irish National Opera Orchestra. As concerto soloist she has performed with Deutsches Kammerorchester, Cinncinati Symphony Orchestra, Pacific Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra Victoria, Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra and Southbank Sinfonia.

Recent performance credits include a solo performance at the Melbourne International Arts Festival that was noted as “re-defining the act of going solo “ (​The Age)​, Brett Dean’s flute concerto ‘Siduri Dances’ with Deutsches Kammerorchester, Tokyo Experimental Festival Grand Prize, appearances with stargaze at the Edinburgh International Festival, Berlin’s acclaimed ​Unerhörte Musik series and a solo recital at Musica Nova Helsinki​.​ Lina released her debut solo album with Diatribe Records label in early 2020.

In 2023, she is a Trotter Distinguished Visiting Professor at University of Oregon and Artist in Residence at the prestigious Australian National Academy of Music of where she is an alumna. Passionate about mentorship and coaching, she has appeared as Guest Teaching Artist at Yale University, Louisiana State University, University of Alabama, Rowan University, De Pauw University, University of Arkansas, Clemson University, University of Queensland and has been Artist in Residence at the University of Western Australia.

“Redefining the art of going solo…(Andonovska’s) stage ability is something to behold…Andonovska does not simply ask for your attention, she demands it. a holistically excellent performer at the helm.” ★★★★ The Age, Melbourne International Arts Festival review

“Andonovska’s control of her instrument is immediately applaudable and the cyclonic energy of her playing commands an intensity of listening that is rare to encounter. Equally strong as an artist and a technician, it is the former that shines through and defines Andonovska as one of Australia’s leading artists, collaborators and curators.” – Music Trust Australia, Album Review of A Way A Lone A Last

“Aussie flautist wows with technique, invention and style…” – ★★★★ Limelight Magazine, Album Review of A Way A Lone A Last
