Navigating the Non-linear Musical Careers: flautist Beata Preisaitė-Šidiškienė
In this conversation, I had the pleasure of speaking with my high school mate, flautist Beata Preisaitė-Šidiškienė. Our discussion revolved around the complexity of musical careers, emphasizing the importance of recognizing their non-linear nature. We delved into our early experiences as forming musicians, highlighting the significance of nurturing expansive dreams in both music-making and career development.
Beata pursued her musical education at prestigious institutions such as the Saarbrucken Academy of Music in Germany, the Faculty of Music at the University of California, Fullerton in the USA, as well as the Royal Danish Academy of Music, where she earned her master's degree. As a soloist, Beata has performed with the Kaunas City Symphony Orchestra, the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra, the Southern California Philharmonic Orchestra and the University of California Fullerton Orchestra. The flutist has also played in the Danish National Radio Orchestra, the Copenhagen Philharmonic and other orchestras.
