KAREN KEVRA  has won attention as one of the nation's outstanding flutists through her distinctive warm and extroverted performances as a soloist and chamber musician, and has been hailed as "having a musical focus and depth seen in few flutists anywhere."

The leading protégé of the late Louis Moyse, Ms. Kevra carries on the legacy of the venerable Moyse French School of flute playing, known for it's "joie de vivre" voice-like depth, quality, and coloring of tone.  Ms. Kevra's commitment to expanding the modern flute repertoire combined with her long association with Louis Moyse resulted in the premier recording of Works for flute and Piano of Louis Moyse-CRI CD888, which earned a 2003 Grammy nomination and accolades from numerous American Record reviewers. Fanfare Magazine called the disc, "A must for flute fanciers and anyone else with ears." Classics Today.com which awarded the disc its highest 10/10 rating and designated it as one of the top twelve discs in 2003 wrote, "Kevra has a tremendous sound, tight articulation, and the ability to reproduce coloristic markings with ease and assurance."

In addition to recent performances on French National Television, at Carnegie Hall and at the French Embassy in Washington D.C., Ms. Kevra was invited by violinist/conductor Jaime Laredo to perform as soloist with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra on their ten concert "Made In Vermont" Tour. Her chamber engagements have included appearances with the Borromeo String Quartet, the Boston Chamber Music Society, The Paris Piano Trio, violinists Eugene Drucker and Jaime Laredo and pianists Diane Walsh and Jeffrey Chappell.

A recipient of numerous grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Vermont Arts Council,  and the Kittredge Fund, Ms. Kevra has recorded for the Albany, CRI, New World Records, and Elektra labels. She is the founder and Artistic Director of Capital City Concerts based in Montpelier Vermont. When she's not playing the flute, you can find her at home preparing Middle Eastern feasts, digging in the garden, or listening to her beloved Red Sox on the radio.
