I’m Elisa Akin, a 17-year-old flutist based in New York, and music has been a passion of mine since I first picked up the flute in third grade. Beginning in 2023, I had the honor of competing in several competitions, where I’ve earned placements that have motivated me to explore and improve musically. I love performing, as it gives me the opportunity to connect with others through the art of music. These experiences have not only strengthened my commitment to the flute, but have also deepened my appreciation for music and performance.
