More about the artist
Still is known internationally primarily through her 20-plus recordings that have garnered unanimous praise: “impeccable in technique and taste, seductive in phrasing” (Stephensen Classical C D Guide). “Still plays ... so convincingly I cannot separate her from the music” (American Record Guide), “whatever she plays sounds musical in every turn of the phrase” (Gramophone), “a stunning showcase for the astonishing Alexa Still” (Fanfare).
She earned her doctorate at the State University of New York Stony Brook, won competitions including the New York Flute Club Young Artist Competition, and East and West Artists Competition. At age 23, she went back home as principal flute of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. Other awards include a Churchill Fellowship and a Fulbright.
