About this exposition

Name: Ana Catarina da Silva Costa Main Subject: Orchestra Master – Flute and Piccolo Research Supervisor: Susan Williams Title of Research: The Piccolo Flute: A Storyteller through Zephyrus Voice Research Question: An Artistical Approach to (re)discover the Piccolo Flute Summary of Results: The use of Fairy Tales or Myths is often used in psychoanalysis to represent the psyche. The research project about the Piccolo Flute, presented in this Research Paper, was developed in order to tell a story through the music, exploring its sounds and techniques, and creating sound metaphors to express emotions. Zephyrus, the west wind God, blows different kinds of wind and can be used as archetypes for many emotional states and affects. This artistic approach to (re) discover the Piccolo Flute is a storytelling that pretends to express some of the Zephyrus emotions and simultaneously show some of the Piccolo sound resources. Biography: Ana Catarina Costa began her flute studies at the age of 12 with Ana Maria Ribeiro in her hometown conservatoire – Aveiro, Portugal, continuing her studies with Felix Renggli in the Musik-Akademie Basel. Since 2014 she is Orchestra Master student in the Royal Conservatoire The Hague, working with Jeroen Bron and Dorine Schade. During the past few years she regularly performs as a chamber music and orchestral player, working with conductors such as Vladimir Ashkenazy, Valery Gergiev or Kent Nagano. Ana Catarina was invited in October 2015 for a trial as Solo Piccolo in the Gothenburg Symphonic Orchestra in Sweden.
