About
Celina Charlier is a Brazilian flutist , living in New York for almost 20 years. She holds an international concert career, having performed professionally since 1989, as a chamber musician, orchestra musician and soloist, throughout Brazil, USA, Italy, France, Malta, Switzerland, Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Sri Lanka and the United Arabic Emirates. Her repertoire encompasses from Early Music to electronic avant garde, including Brazilian genres. She taught for 16 years at New York University, and put together from scratch the entire music program for NYU Abu Dhabi, the first global university. At NYUAD, she was the Director of Music Performance, until 2015, when she made her way back to the Western world and has focused on performing, teaching, and recording.
Music is her life, as a concert artist, but she also embraces music as a tool for human development. Her ideal student is anyone who loves music, for music can beautifully come into peoples' lives within different paths and goals. She departs from people to music, creating a plan for each student according to his/her background and interests, combining technique, interpretation and good posture (for better sound results and to avoid injury).
