Remarkable flutists

Marsden, Joanna

Joanna Marsden is a distinguished Canadian specialist in historical flutes, recognized for her virtuosic and historically informed performances on a wide array of instruments ranging from the Baroque to the Romantic eras.
Born and raised in Canada, Marsden began her musical journey on the modern flute before dedicating herself to historical performance. She studied at McGill University’s Schulich School of Music in Montreal, where she was a student of Claire Guimond. She further refined her expertise at the Royal Conservatory of the Hague in the Netherlands, studying with the legendary Wilbert Hazelzet.
Marsden is a founding member of the Symphonie Atlantique, an ensemble dedicated to performing Classical and Romantic repertoire on period instruments. She also performs frequently with groups such as the Arion Orchestre Baroque, Les Idées heureuses, and the American Bach Soloists.
