Sunday Baroque Conversations 91: Stephen Schultz

In 4th grade, Stephen Schultz had a chance to learn an instrument to play in the school band. He ended up being assigned to play his third choice – the flute – which was a very good thing, because the instrument is his perfect match. Stephen Schultz is one of the foremost baroque flute players, and he says that baroque music is his first love. He spoke with Suzanne about his career as a performer and teacher, his passion for Bach, Mahler and the Beatles, and he even took out two of his instruments to demonstrate the difference between baroque and modern flutes.
