Flutist Rhonda Larson entered
the national music scene from her native Montana when she
won first prize in the National Flute Association's Young
Artist Competition in 1985, earning a Carnegie Hall debut.
Shortly thereafter, Rhonda joined the Paul Winter Consort,
where the combining of diverse musical styles with classical
training was a Consort hallmark. During her last year with
the Consort in 1992, Rhonda won a Grammy Award for her
contributions to the live concert tour recording, 'Spanish
Angel'. Larson and Paul Halley then established the
independent performance duo, Ventus, which Larson expanded
with new players upon her marriage and relocation to
southwestern Michigan.
Larnos's musical and technical wizardry, which includes versatility on an array of ethnic flutes from around the world, has allowed the creation of a visionary and startling new repertoire for the flute . Larson travels a cross-cultural/multi-genre music path, giving performances and workshops throughout the world. Larson journeyed to South Africa as a musical ambassador to the Parliament of World' Religions, sharing the stage with such luminaries as Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama. She has recorded with the Celtic Galician group "Milladoiro" and performed with Eileen Ivers, celtic fiddle player with "Riverdance". Larson spent recent months in Ramallah, Palestine (West Bank), where she was flute teacher at the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music. Rhonda and her husband, Lee deLisle, make their home in Michigan and part-time in the Lazio region of Italy. |

REVIEWS from Connecticut's VOICES: Rhonda Larson & Ventus in concert. "...Once every generation there comes along a transformative force that breaks all the industry rules. Larson wields her instrument like a blow torch, breaking down our Victorian preconceptions of what the classical flute should be, how it should sound and where it should take us...This intensely gifted flutist needed little more than her native Montana charm to win the hearts of the packed house." from Musical Soundscapes "Without a doubt, one of the world's most gifted flutists…unbound by musical genres." - Robert Walmsley from The New York Times "Rhonda's evening of flute music radiated. There was a straightforward positive musicality to what she did and it cheered the listener." from The News-Times "What Larson does is to use works of the past as the base on which to build her own flights. And what flights they are! This handsome sylph with the cascade of blond curls and the articulate manner shows not only remarkable technique but great musicality…Part mystic, part leprechaun, here is a woman who bridges worlds." - Frank Merkling from Jazziz Magazine "…world music drive that sets off Larson's pristine flute playing like a jewel in the grass." - John DiLiberto |
