Leone Buyse Buyse-Webster Duo

About the Artist

Leone Buyse relinquished her principal positions with the Boston Symphony and Boston Pops in 1993 to pursue a more active solo and teaching career after 22 years as an orchestral musician.   A former member of the San Francisco Symphony and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, she has appeared as soloist on numerous occasions with those orchestras and also with the Boston Symphony, the Boston Pops, the Utah Symphony, and l'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande.   She has performed with the Boston Symphony Chamber Players throughout Europe and Japan, with the Tokyo, Juilliard, and Muir String Quartets, in recital with Jessye Norman and Yo-Yo Ma, and at many festivals, including Aspen, Sarasota, Norfolk, and Sitka,.

The only American prize winner in the 1969 Geneva International Flute Competition, Ms. Buyse has presented recitals and master classes across the United States and in Canada, The Netherlands, Japan, and New Zealand.   Her solo recordings appear on the Crystal, Boston Records, and C.R. I. labels and she may be heard as solo flutist on recordings of the Boston Symphony, Boston Pops and the San Francisco Symphony for the Philips, Deutsche Grammophon, RCA Victor, and Sony Classical labels.   With her husband, clarinetist Michael Webster, she co-founded the Webster Trio, which has recorded for Crystal, and the Japanese label, Nami.   Ms. Buyse is the Mullen Professor of Flute and Chamber Music at Rice University and has also taught at the University of Michigan, the New England Conservatory, Boston University, the Tanglewood Music Center, and as a visiting professor at the Eastman School of Music.

 

Dr. Alan Huckleberry , assistant professor of piano pedagogy and chamber music at The University of Iowa, has performed both in recitals and as a soloist with orchestras across Europe and the United States.   He is also a prizewinner of numerous national and international piano competitions.

Dr. Huckleberry is a sought-after chamber musician and master class clinician.   Most recently he has performed with saxophonist Donald Sinta, violinist Scott Conklin, and flutists Amy Porter , Jeanne Baxtresser, Goran Marcussen, Jim Walker, Alexa Still, Tamara Thweatt, and Nicole Esposito.   He has conducted piano pedagogy workshops, among other sites, at the 2005 National Conference on Keyboard Pedagogy in Chicago, IL, and the World Piano Pedagogy Conference in Anaheim, CA.
