Linda Verrier
Linda Verrier was born in 1962 in Canada. She graduated from the Royal Northern College of Music, in Manchester, and has had her music played and recorded in the UK, US and Australia and broadcast on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).
Writing about one of her previous compositions (recorded by the BBC Philharmonic) Pan Magazine (UK) wrote “The Great River, is a powerful tone poem for orchestra…emotionally charged…[with] shimmering percussion...Verrier’s writing…a bold and overflowing love letter for the natural world”. ABC Classic FM’s Damien Beaumont said about another of her pieces (Fleeting): “A wonderful work by Linda Verrier…the solo flute weaves a series of fragmented dreams together with a plaintive and evocative bird call. This is a chamber work of an intimate nature, searching for the unworldly”.
Linda is also known as a flute player and has performed in North America, the UK and Europe, both as a soloist and as a professional orchestral player. Linda has been described as “highly accomplished…[and] graceful and fluid” by the UK newspaper The Daily Telegraph. She was a prize-winner in the prestigious flute competition held by the National Flute Association of America.
