Is Sir James your Hero of Flute or is he an Anti-hero much loved by school music teachers who love to inflict a bit of Annie’s Song on the entire school?

Turning back the clock with a bit of baroque, Lisa Besnosiuk is this week’s Hero of Flute! As principal flute at the OAE, her video is a great quick history!

From bad boy of Rock to bad boy of baroque, this week’s hero of flute is Jean-Marie Leclair. Know for his beautiful flute sonatas, Leclair was brutally murdered. Was it his gold-digging ex-wife or a robbery gone wrong? https://t.co/XhfPiUrnEI
