A Grammy Award-winning flutist, professor, and clinician, Molly Barth moves effortlessly from concert hall to teaching studio to rehearsal room to orchestral section. Molly needs fuel for this fire. The “ferociously talented” performer (The Oregonian) crosses from Virginia to California, the UK to Korea. The halls may be large or small, the music may be old or new, but the performances are always concentrated and intense.

Barth has premiered hundreds of pieces, finding the creation of new music uplifting and miraculous. As co-founder and former member of the ensembles Eighth Blackbird and Beta Collide, she has toured the world, recorded a dozen albums, and, with Eighth Blackbird, won a Grammy Award.

She is the co-founder of the Zohn Collective, a group of curious musicians who share a love of risk and exploration. They have collaborated with a puppet company and a cartoonist, have toured the U.S. and Mexico, and record extensively.

Fueled by her work as a teacher, Barth is associate professor of flute at the Blair School of Music, where she guides her students to become comprehensive flutists. They leave her studio as skilled, flexible, bold musicians, able to think critically and speak to audiences. Barth took her inspiration primarily from her stellar teachers at Oberlin, the Cincinnati Conservatory, and Northwestern.
