Dr. Krisztina Dér – Second Flute

Hailed by the Washington Post as a musician with “…a clean, full-bodied tone and fleet fingers,” Dr. Krisztina Dér is a member of the Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra and Lecturer of Music at Guilford College in North Carolina. First-prize winner of the 2017 RAFA Artist and the 2009 FSW Competitions, she has performed and studied internationally, earning her doctoral degree in flute performance at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. Her “bold and compelling” flute/light project (Classical Voice of North Carolina), featuring concerts that integrate music and light, explore the impact of visual stimuli on sound. Some of her flute/light performance invitations have included the 2018 National Flute Association Orlando Convention, 2018 Light City Baltimore, the University of Maryland Baltimore County, and the University of North Carolina Pembroke.
