ailing from Brooklyn, New York, Rachel Elizabeth Fastenow (née Deren) is a player of many flutes, large and small, metal and wood, west and east. You’ll find her on the stage, in the recording studio, and in her studio (
Park Slope Flute Studio). In the fleeting moments when a flute is not in her hands you may find her roaming the wine regions of the world by foot or bike or spending a quiet day in Brooklyn with her husband and dog-daughter.
