Kelly Zimba Lukić joined the Toronto Symphony Orchestra as Principal Flute in 2017. Previously a flute fellow at the New World Symphony, she has performed with the Chicago, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, and Detroit Symphony Orchestras and was featured on the cover of Flute Talk Magazine in October 2017. As a soloist, chamber, and orchestral musician, Ms. Lukić has performed around the world in such venues as Carnegie Hall, Beijing's National Centre for the Performing Arts, Royal Albert Hall, and the Teatro del Lago in Frutillar, Chile. At home, you might spot her playing in the streets (or subways!) of Toronto with TSO violinist Clare Semes as Sonority Sisters, a flute and violin duo committed to sharing live music outside of the concert hall. In addition to performing, Kelly teaches flute at the University of Toronto. Her summer engagements include past and present faculty positions with NYO-USA, NYO Canada, Atlantic Music Festival, Sinfónica Azteca, Orford Winds Workshop, Credo Flute, Sitka Fine Arts Camp, and Belvoir Terrace. Alongside American flutists Rachel Blumenthal and Amanda Galick, she co-founded Trillium Flute Collective, a series of online flute workshops for students of all ages. She is a regular guest artist at universities and conservatories across the Americas. Originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Kelly completed her graduate studies at Rice University's Shepherd School of Music and received bachelor's degrees in music education and flute performance from the University of Michigan. She is greatly indebted to all of her teachers, especially Leone Buyse and Amy Porter.
