Andrea La Rose

Andrea La Rose plays flutes big and small, ukuleles big and small, as well as lots of little whistley things. She teaches music to young and old and has a small obsession with two-chord songs. In addition to NEMPAC, she is on faculty at CCAE.

She has composed chamber works for Anti-Social Music (NYC), thingNY (NYC), A/B Duo (SF), and Wild Rumpus (SF), and collaborated on theater works with Lone Wolf Tribe (NYC), The Army of the Arts (Prague), Akademie-der-Steg (Nürnberg), and CrewCollective (Prague).

She’s been heard on prestigious subway platforms in Boston and New York; on recordings with Anti-Social Music, World/Inferno Friendship Society, Dirk Stromberg, Mohair Timewarp, and His Name Is Alive; as well as on Czech Radio (Český Rozhlas) representing Hybrid Sessions. An avid free-improviser, Andrea has performed with vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Paul Pinto (NYC), guitarist Nicola Hein (Köln), violinist Tom Swafford (NYC), sound artist John Jannone (NYC), violinist Jeff Young (NYC), in a trio with pianist Bernadette Speach and guitarist Jeffrey Schanzer (NYC), and in Prague with multimedia artist Darrell Jonsson’s Urban Space Epics, the Pražské Improvizační Orchestr, Prague Music Performance Creative Orchestra, and improvised dance groups Eli a kol, Moving Orchestra, and CrewCollective.

Andrea has lived in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, Germany, and the Czech Republic. Back in Massachusetts since 2024, she plays contrabass flute with three flute choirs (Me2, Merrimack Valley, and Purple Finch) and piccolo with School of HONK.
