Claire Chase with the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE): "Terrestre" album release concert
Flutist Claire Chase is active as a soloist, collaborative artist, and arts entrepreneur. Over the past decade Claire has given the world premieres of more than 100 new works for flute, many of them tailor-made for her, and she has played, produced and curated more than 500 concerts of contemporary music.

First Prize Winner of the 2008 Concert Artists Guild International Competition, Claire has given solo recitals this season at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, and throughout the US.

She released her debut solo album, Aliento, in October 2009 (New Focus) featuring six genre-defying world premiere recordings by emerging composers, which was named one of the Top Ten Releases of the Year by TimeOut Chicago.

Declared “indefatigable” by TimeOut New York, Claire is rapidly emerging as one of the most innovative performing artists of her generation.
