About Karen
Karen Chiang is a flutist known for her expressive artistry and versatility as a soloist, orchestral, and chamber musician currently based in Boston, MA. Karen recently earned her Master of Music in Flute Performance from Boston University under the tutelage of Linda Toote. As a member of the Boston University Symphony Orchestra (2023–2025), she has performed major symphonic works and opera productions under esteemed conductors, strengthening her ensemble skills, leadership, and musical sensitivity. She previously completed her Bachelor of Music in Flute Performance at the University of Toronto, studying with Nora Shulman and performing extensively with the University of Toronto Symphony Orchestra.
Her musical journey began at the age of five with piano lessons through the Suzuki Association, where the philosophy of listening, repetition, and a nurturing environment shaped her early experiences. Annual performances at Suzuki Association concerts helped her build confidence, poise, and a lifelong joy for sharing music. A passionate educator, Karen is a registered Suzuki teacher (Units 1–4) with the Suzuki Association of the Americas. She completed teacher training with Ivy Huang through the Taiwan Suzuki Association and later participated in a workshop with Kathleen Schoen at the Great Lakes Suzuki Summer Institute.
In addition to her performance work, Karen served as a teaching assistant at Boston University, providing weekly private instruction to graduate non-major flute students—an experience that deepened her ability to adapt to diverse learning styles and foster confidence and musical growth. She believes music education requires patience, empathy, and strong communication, and strives to create a supportive environment where students can explore, grow, and develop a lifelong appreciation for music.
As a dedicated performer, Karen continues to refine her artistry through masterclasses and intensive study with leading flutists. She has worked closely with Emmanuel Pahud and Julien Beaudiment at the Domaine Forget International Music Festival, and has participated in masterclasses with Marina Piccinini, Timothy Hagen, Philippe Bernold, Sebastian Jacot, Philipp Jundt, Dejan Gavrić, Aslıhan And, and Gareth McLearnon.
Deeply committed to both performance and education, Karen continually seeks to inspire others through music and to grow as a well-rounded, expressive, and thoughtful artist.
