Hello, I’m Laura Lentz.

I’m a flutist, composer, and teaching artist who loves curiosity, listening, and discovery. I aim to create spaces for deep listening, creative exploration, and meaningful connection—whether through performance, collaboration, or teaching. I’m also the author of Modal Flute Warmup.

Currently:
