“Refined musicality, deep expression and a rich golden tone.”
BIOGRAPHY
Argentinean flutist Ana Laura Dominguez has developed her style embracing diverse musical landscapes from the classical music repertoire to Latin-American rhythms. Her focus lays on the search for depth of expression through the rich tones of the Alto flute, C flute and piccolo. A versatile musician, her driven nature has taken her to perform on stages in Buenos Aires, Zurich, Boston and New York.
Passionate about music, Ana Laura performs on chamber music and orchestral projects on a regular basis. During her two year stay in Boston (2017-2019), she took part in projects with the Boston Philharmonic, Boston Chamber Symphony, Cape Code Chamber Orchestra, and Boston Civic Symphony, performing in venues such as the beautiful Jordan Hall in Boston and previously in the famous Isaac Stern Auditorium in Carnegie Hall, New York. She also engages in fusion projects, such as her collaboration (2019) on the recording of a music album of Latin-American roots in Brooklyn, New York. She has recently taken part on the recording of an album dedicated to the music of Mozart for soloists and orchestra “Mozart Concertante” in Vienna for Universal Music Group available on all streaming platforms.
Classically trained, she graduated from the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste (ZHdK) in Switzerland, obtaining two Masters degrees in Flute Performance and Flute Pedagogy under the guidance of Swiss flutist Philippe Racine. She holds a Bachelor of Music in Flute Performance from Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina, where she studied in the studio of Lars Nilsson and Beatriz Plana. To complete her education, she has spent summers at Internationale Sommerakademie Universität Mozarteum Salzburg (Austria) with Peter-Lukas Graf; at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh (USA) with renowned American flutists such as Alberto Almarza and has received lessons from Boston’s most prominent musicians.
As part of her professional development Ana Laura holds a position as a pedagogue at the Regionale Musikschule Regensdorf and the Jugendmusikschule Frauenfeld in Switzerland. She is also a member of the Swiss Society of Musical Pedagogy. She has offered workshops regularly on flute performance in Argentina at Universidad de Villa Maria, Córdoba, and Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, in Mendoza. She has also been actively involved as a flute teacher in Argentina’s program for youth orchestras, inspired in “El Sistema” from Venezuela, aimed at the inclusion of the younger generations through music.
The inspiration to pursue a career in music came from her first teacher, flutist Samira Musri, owner of a generous heart and an unforgettable sound. Currently living in Zurich, Ana Laura enjoys spending time with her family and going for a swim in the city’s lake on warm summer days.
