Bio: Flutist Dr. Jessica Lizak has established herself as one of Boston's most versatile flutists.  The Boston Music Intelligencer has described her performances as full of "youthful energy and rhythmic drive," as well as possessing "light and free precision...a nearly jazz-like casualness." She actively performs with many of New England's leading musical organizations, including the Marsh Chapel Collegium, Orchestra of Indian Hill, Boston Pops Orchestra, Portland Symphony, Back Bay Chorale, Boston Modern Orchestra Project, Odyssey Opera, Boston Philharmonic, Masterworks Chorale, Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra, Collage New Music, Rhode Island Philharmonic, Albany Symphony, and Springfield Symphony, and Symphony New Hampshire, among others.

She has been a selected fellow at the Tanglewood Music Center (MA), Music Academy of the West (CA), Domaine Forget (Canada), and Interlochen (MI). She was awarded top prizes in several competitions, including the Pappoutsakis Flute Competition, Myrna Brown International Flute Competition, Bohemians Club of the Detroit Symphony Concerto Competition, and was a multiple winner of the Boston University Departmental Award for outstanding musical achievements.  She has been a soloist at both the National Flute Convention and the Greater Boston Flute Association's Flute Fair, and she has performed as a chamber musician on WGBH and WCRB.  Her discography includes Tanglewood commemorative recordings available through the BSO website, and numerous collaborations with BMOP, Boston’s premier orchestra for newly composed and experimental orchestral works.  She can also be heard on Natalie Merchant's CD Leave Your Sleep, in an upcoming children's production in collaboration with John Lithgow, on  Parma Record's Godesses, and Novona Record's Polarities and Voyage/Pierre Schroeder.

Dr. Lizak is also equally committed to education. She has completed her doctorate (DMA) in music performance, which also includes a Concentration in Music Education from NEC. She holds full teaching studios with the New England Conservatory Preparatory School, Lexington Fine Arts Department, and Winchester Community Music School.
