Di Zhao Flute Sponsorship

“We are excited and honoured to welcome Rozalind MacPhail to the Di Zhao Flutes family as our first ever featured artist. Her brilliant talent, infectious enthusiasm and passionate love for all things flute makes her the ideal choice for us.” – William Zhao, Marketing Director of Di Zhao Flutes

No words can truly express how delighted I feel about this new partnership with Di Zhao Flutes. I fell in love with Di Zhao’s instruments the moment I tried them at The National Flute Association Convention in Chicago. These flutes sing to my soul. They are beautifully crafted with such care and precision. To be sponsored by a progressive company like Di Zhao Flutes is a dream come true. I am proud to stand behind a flute company who focuses on innovation and excellence. read more

Flute Love for “Fragments” on Exclaim and BBC Radio 6

It’s been an exciting time with the highly-anticipated album release of SIGHT by Toronto’s Pick A Piper. Caribou musician, Brad Weber invited me to record flute for his Pick a Piper track, “Fragments”. I sent him my flute takes with a twist. I recorded it for effected alto flute and focused on the percussive sounds I could create from the instrument. Looks like this great track is getting lots of love all over the world, including by the fine folks at Exclaim and BBC Radio 6 Music‘s 6 Music Recommends w/ Tom Ravenscroft. Right on Pick A Piper aka Brad Weber. Digging that the Ali Ryerson Gemeinhardt Musical Instruments alto flute is getting sexy spins around the world.
