Viviana Guzmán, flute

Described as “an exceptionally equipped flutist and a remarkable performer,” by the incomparable flutist Jean-Pierre Rampal, Chilean-born Viviana Guzmán has performed in more than eighty-five countries and on all seven continents. “Technical dexterity, charismatic virtuosity, a concert by flutist Guzmán cannot so much be defined as a concert for the ears, but more so as a symphony for the heart.”    —Pacifica Tribune
