"....Then, in their silver sequined tops and holey faded jeans, In Sterio took the audience on a journey through listening to the radio in their original work titled Frequency. With a backdrop of static, station tuning, and bits and pieces of tunes, the artists moved with stylistic verve from rock to pop, jazz to western. Playing flute, alto, and piccolo, each "station" was carefully choreographed, and musical styles were brought to life. Using their toolbox of effects, they colored melodies with pitch bending, multiphonics, pop tonguing, singing, and playing along with timbral sounds. They brought the house down and everyone wanted to hear more!" - Rochester Flute Association

Bio
IN STERIO is a rare blending of sounds from flutists and Miyazawa Artists, Shivhan Dohse and Erica Peel. Their unique vision of fusing classical flute training with mainstream music challenges the conventional ideas of the
flute sound and repertoire. In Sterio has an inimitable gift of incorporating impressive flute playing with diverse and eclectic music that is both innovative and entertaining. Their performances have been described as “creative” and “electric”, noting that “the artists moved with stylistic verve”, and “brought the house down and everyone wanted to hear more!”
Founded in 2007, In Sterio has performed at public schools, Universities and
Flute Festivals across the country inspiring young and not-so-young musicians to find their own creative voice. Among the styles In Sterio has integrated and embraced are Irish/Folk, R&B, Funk, Country, Rock, Pop, Trance, Classical, World and New Age. The duo has been invited to
perform a full program of their original works at the 2010 National Flute Association Convention in Anaheim, CA after successful appearances at both the 2009 convention in NYC and the 2008 convention in Kansas City. In Sterio has also performed full programs at the 2010 Florida Flute
Convention and the 2010 Mid-Atlantic Flute Fair. They are excited to be a part of the Omaha Chamber Music Society’s Music as Medicine Series for the 2009-2010 season, and feel honored to have been chosen as Touring
Artists with the Nebraska Arts Council. In Sterio’s diversity contributes to their popularity among classical and rock musicians alike, allowing them to feel equally at home in bars, theatres, schools, galleries and concert halls.
ERICA PEEL earned a Bachelor of Music degree in Flute Performance from the University of Miami in Florida, where she studied with the late Christine-Nield Capote. In 2003, Erica moved to Santa Barbara, CA to spend a year of intensive study with Jill Felber of ZAWA!, and became the Principle Flutist of The Debut Orchestra in Los Angeles. The following year,
