The Royal Academy of Music has engaged Denis Bouriakov as Visiting Professor in flute.

Denis is principal of the Los Angeles Philharmonic – he will have a long commute – and one of the most expressive soloists around.

He says: ‘Very honoured to be back at the Academy. As an alumus myself, I treasure the school and it’s very dear to me. I was very fortunate to study with William Bennett OBE for 4 years at the Academy, and those were amazing years! Coming from Russia, I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the RAM’s generous support.’

    I thought one snares a drummer, not a flautist.

  • Francis Asissy says:

    Yeah, but it doesn’t have the same “feel.”

  • Barry Guerrero says:

    “Visiting Professor in flute” . . . then just flitters away?
