Meet Nicole Taylor Peters
“Just choose the one that fits in your backpack,” she was told, and thus began Nicole Peters’ flute career at age seven. In these seventeen years, Nicole has been a part of a wide variety of ensembles including various sized orchestras, bands, klezmer groups, and pit orchestras. She is an active freelance performer in the Long Island/NYC area, working alongside groups such as the Choral Society of the Hamptons. She has worked as an orchestra member with the College Light Opera Company where she played principal flute for nine different operettas and musicals. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Nicole also participated in numerous virtual music projects with this opera company. She earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Colorado Boulder with Professor Christina Jennings and graduated with her Master’s degree at SUNY Purchase in the studio of Dr. Tara Helen O’Connor. She is now wrapping up a doctoral degree at Stony Brook University with Ms. Carol Wincenc. She continues to teach students of all ages, constantly expanding her private flute studio.
