Praised by The Boston Globe for her “surpassingly beautiful contributions” and the Boston Musical Intelligencer for a “stunning virtuosic display,” flutist and Artistic Director Deborah Boldin enjoys an active and diverse career as a recitalist, chamber musician and entrepreneur. Recent engagements include the Rockport Chamber Music Festival, the Martha’s Vineyard and IBIS Chamber Music Societies, Pentangle Arts Annual Mozart Festival in Woodstock VT, Alea III, Boston GuitarFest, the Saco River Chamber Music Festival, First Monday at Jordan Hall Boston, Trinity College Chamber Music Series, and the Wellesley Composers Conference. She has collaborated with such noted artists as Robert Spano, Paula Robison, Kenneth Cooper, and the Borromeo String Quartet. Ms. Boldin has been a featured soloist on radio programs on WJHU, Baltimore, and WQXR, New York, and has made numerous appearances on WGBH Boston’s Classical Performances Live. She has also appeared with the New World Symphony, Opera Boston, the Boston Philharmonic, the Rhode Island Philharmonic, and the Vermont and Portland Symphonies, among others.

Under her leadership, Chameleon has grown from a fledgling organization into a force on Boston’s classical music scene. Ms. Boldin’s innovative concert programming and artistic philosophy have garnered unanimous critical acclaim, and the Ensemble has earned two CMA/ASCAP awards for adventurous programming. Her programs offer an inimitable mix of the witty and the sublime, the adventurous and the beloved. The Boston Globe praised her for “knowing what goes with what on a program,” hailed “planning a good chamber music program is a delicate art unto itself, and few in town have mastered it as persuasively,” and remarked, “Boldin is continually looking for big but little-known works – new, recent, and old – and putting them together in intriguing, organic combinations. The cross-references are not just intellectual; you can feel them in your body.”

Ms. Boldin holds a BM from the Peabody Conservatory, where she received the Alice & Leary Taylor Prize in Performance, and a Graduate Diploma from the New England Conservatory, where she studied with Paula Robison. She can be heard on Argo and Albany Records.
