Trevor wye, Flute
Trevor Wye studied the flute privately with Geoffrey
Gilbert and the celebrated Marcel Moyse. He was a freelance orchestral
and chamber music player on the London scene for many years and made
several solo recordings, notably on his specialist instrument, the flute
d’amour, which he reintroduced to modern times.
He enjoys serving on juries for international competitions as
well as giving recitals, including his unique Carnival Show, a hilarious
performance with commentary during which he plays on 60 different
flutes. He founded the British Flute Society along with the
International Summer, the biggest flute summer camp in the world.
He served as director of the camp from its founding in 1969
through 1988. In 1990 he was made an honorary Fellow of the Royal
Northern College of Music, and in 2011 he was awarded a Lifetime
Achievement Award by the National Flute Association.
