"The flute is an enigmatic, beautiful instrument able to produce sounds at once sweet and sorrowful seeming pulled literally out of thin air. The Magic Flute (or Die Zauberflote) is the title of a beautiful Mozart opera, but played by a talented musician, the flute itself can make its own magic. In the hands of a gifted musician, there are few, if any, things as beautiful as the mesmerizing sound of this instrument."
"Nikka Gershman is one such gifted musician, who will perform Flute Through the Ages, from Vivaldi to Liszt, chronicling the history of the flute in classical music, on Tuesday, October 28, at 7 p.m. at Columbia University's iconic St. Paul's Chapel, 1160 Amsterdam Ave. Tickets are free, but reservations are required at nikkaflute.com/events for the concert, where she will perform with a piano accompanist, Matteo Generani, following a 6:15 p.m. pre-concert talk by Kieran Foss."
"Gershman already has performed at many of the world's most storied concert halls, with appearances in New York City at Alice Tully Hall, Merkin Hall, and Carnegie Hall. Among her numerous first-prize awards, she won a Career Grant from the Salon de Virtuosi, one of the most prestigious associations for classical musicians in New York, along with a highly competitive audition to become an iPalpiti Artist,"
