Camille Churchfield


	Camille Churchfield is the newest member of the flute faculty at University of Ottawa after having served as Principal Flute of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra for 29 years. Now performing frequently with the National Arts Centre Orchestra, Ms. Churchfield was a concerto soloist nearly every season with her own orchestra in Vancouver, as well as with other Canadian orchestras; her creative musicianship and luminous tone have earned the respect of audiences across the country. She has performed with an array of Vancouver chamber music groups as well as with Scotia Festival and the Ottawa Chamber Music Festival, and has been heard often on CBC Radio. She has been Guest Principal with NACO and the Seattle Symphony, toured with the Toronto Symphony and enjoyed summers with the Grand Teton Festival Orchestra. Ms. Churchfield recorded many times with the VSO and can be heard on disk with bassoonist Christopher Millard (Summit Records). Her training includes study with the preeminent British flutist William Bennett as well as earlier work in California with Paul Renzi, Roger Stevens and Julius Baker, and she owes a fond debt of gratitude to the many colleagues from whose musical wisdom she has learned over the years. A dedicated teacher herself, Ms. Churchfield was a long-time faculty member at the University of British Columbia; she now maintains a private studio in addition to her University teaching duties, coaches chamber and orchestral groups and often serves on faculty in the summers at Domaine Forget Music Academy and the National Youth Orchestra of Canada, where her skills have contributed to the successful professional lives of many Canadian flutists. She holds a B.A. in Psychology. She looks forward to continuing her travels as adjudicator, clinician, soloist and masterclass teacher from her home base in Ottawa.
