Sammamish Flutist, Sandra Saathoff, is the stylish soloist in Franz Doppler's Fantaisie Pastorale Hongroise in the upcoming Sammamish Symphony Orchestra's concert "Romantic Exotica" performing one concert only on Thursday, April 27, 2017 at 7:30 pm at the Meydenbauer Theatre in Bellevue.

Ms. Saathoff, of Sammamish, Wa., teaches flute and conducts the flute ensemble at Seattle Pacific University, and has served on the executive boards for the National Flute Association, Seattle Flute Society, and Flutewise USA. She enjoys performing with local orchestral, chamber and folk ensembles, directing the flute program of the Bellevue Youth Symphony, and is currently principal flute with the Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra. She has developed a thriving private flute studio, is a highly sought-after clinician, and has made recent guest artist appearances at Delta State University, the University of West Virginia, and the Flutewise summer course in Croatia. She has taken the stage with such flutists as Sir James Galway, Trevor Wye, Ian Clarke, and Ian Anderson.

Her latest interest in Irish flute includes lessons with Conal O’Grada (Ireland) and Leo Mac Namara (Seattle). In 2016, she helped launched a non-profit foundation for flutists, Silver Flight Ensembles, which presented its first series of workshops and community performances last summer.
