FLUTE/Composition/PIANO

About Me

ALL SONGS PLAYING ON THIS SITE ARE MY ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ANTICIPATION,
WHICH WAS WRITTEN BY ROB PILTCH, and SCHERZINO
BY JOACHIM ANDERSEN.
LABYRINTH II IS A COLLABORATIVE ARRANGEMENT WITH
HARPIST SHARLENE WALLACE based on my original Labyrinth composition with the addition of Shar's brilliant jig.
I began my music studies at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto with pianist/composer Dr. Samuel Dolin. I later studied recorder with Hugh Orr, then flute with my father Bernard Piltch.

As a performer, I play either piano or flute in classical to light jazz styles. I have recorded two CDs with guitarist Daniel LaBrash: THE MOON & FLOWERS and NATURE'S PLAY. Most recently, harpist Sharlene Wallace & I have released our first collaborative CD titled ANTICIPATION.

As a composer, I have written for flute choir, flute & harp, and flute & piano.
Two pieces are listed on the Royal Conservatory of Music's flute exam syllabus: the original version of LABYRINTH written for flute & piano (RCM Grade 1) and LITTLE ONE-lullaby for Kienna (RCM Grade 2) for two flutes & piano, which are available through www.long-mcquade.com and are published by Nourse Wind Publications. In the U.S. they are available through the Flute World music catalogue. Both of these pieces were rearranged and extended for the ANTICIPATION CD.
OUT OF THE SHADOWS, written for 7 flutes (c-flutes, alto & bass flutes) and played by myself, was written and recorded for the NATURE'S PLAY CD.
MIDNIGHT BOSSA (dedicated to my dad, B.P.) has been recorded by my husband, guitarist Peter Mathers, on his CD entitled SUMMERWIND.

The LABRASH PILTCH DUO flute & guitar recordings
are available through Indie Pool in Canada and CD Baby in the U.S.

ANTICIPATION is distributed by Festival in Canada (www.festival.bc.ca) and CD Baby in the U.S.

More ANTICIPATION tracks are on www.myspace.com/sueshar.
Radio airplay on Galaxie CBC Digital Radio, CBC 94.1 FM, Classical 96.3 FM.
