Clivia Ngan - Professional Flutist Flutist from Portland, OR

Hi! I am a professional, multifaceted flutist with over a decade of experience as a solo, chamber, and orchestral musician, as well as a music educator and curator in Los Angeles (now based in Portland). I am praised for my rich sound and expression by colleagues and listeners alike, and have consistently been sought out to perform in all sorts of settings from coffeeshops, bars and libraries to world-renowned stages such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall and Renee & Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. I have held principal flute positions for the Filipino Symphony Orchestra, San Gabriel Symphony, Synethesia Sinfonietta, Elite Choir & Orchestra, and have performed in numerous chamber ensembles. Events: I provide concert experiences as well as background music services. For events where I am providing only background music, or if the venue has a secluded area where I can warm up, I will arrive at least an hour before I am expected to play. For larger events that include a detailed itinerary, and/or events are at venues that do not have secluded areas for warm ups/sound checks, (such as live concert programs, or wedding ceremonies), I will arrive at least an hour earlier before the event starts so I can do a sound check if possible and get a feel for the setting before people arrive. Prices will generally reflect the distance I must travel (rate is generally $1.00/mile), and for the amount of time I will need to physically be there (Minimum base charge of $250 for the first hour with additional $50-100 for each additional hour depending on type of music and event). I also generally require a non-refundable deposit of half the amount upfront, to ensure preparation for the gig is covered and does not go to waste if an event is cancelled.
