Flautist Georgia Browne began her musical life in Perth, Western Australia where she was given the opportunity to try replica historical flutes. Following an inspiring week of masterclasses with compatriot Kate Clark, Georgia decided to make the pilgrimage to The Netherlands to specialise in historical flute performance with Kate and later Barthold Kuijken. Just after graduating with distinction from the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague, Georgia was launched onto the European concert scene in style, with an exciting performance of a Vivaldi flute concerto for distinguished guests and live radio broadcast at the Palazzo Quirinale in Rome.
Since that momentous debut in 2004, Georgia has been in demand as a soloist, orchestral musician and guest tutor across Europe, Asia and Australia. She is currently first flute with Ensemble Pygmalion (Raphaël Pichon) with whom she has had stand-out solos at the Philharmonie and the Opera Comique in Paris and at the Aix en Provence opera festival. In the UK she regularly appears in concert with Arcangelo (Jonathan Cohen), the Dunedin Consort (John Butt), The English Concert (Harry Bickett), La Nuova Musica (David Bates) and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Invitations from further afield include guest appearances with the Australian Chamber Orchestra (Richard Tognetti), the Australian Romantic Classical Orchestra and Capella Cracoviensis (Jan Tomasz Adamus) as well as concerto performances with the Bratislava Mozart Orchestra and the Georgian Sinfonietta. Her album of flute music by Carl Friedrich Abel with Icelandic chamber ensemble Nordic Affect is one of a number of recordings she has featured on.
An enthusiastic educator, Georgia has taught at the Universities of Southampton and Birmingham and at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. She is regularly invited to give masterclasses all over the world from Saint Andrew’s to Slovakia to New South Wales.
