Greater Cleveland Flute Society

Recognized throughout the world for his redefinition of flute sound, Greg Pattillo was lauded by
The New York Times as "the best person in the world at what he does."  His ground-breaking performance
videos on Youtube, showcasing "beatbox flute," have been viewed more than 20 million times. 
He has been an internationally featured recitalist and clinician, including Yale University
School of Music, Cleveland Institute of Music, Napier University (UK),
Guildhall School of Music (UK), and the LaGuardia High school for the Performing Arts.

Greg earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees from the Cleveland Institute of Music
as a student of Joshua Smith, The Principal Flutist of the Cleveland Orchestra.  After a
summer spent as the acting principal flute of Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra, Greg moved to
San Francisco where he was a founding member of the Collaborative Arts Insurgency and the 16th
and Mission Thursday night gathering for performers.  It was there that "beatbox flute"
materialized in its present state.  Greg enjoys freelancing as a soloist, and is the flautist of the
group PROJECT, the Lalo Quintet, as well as a featured performer at The Box
in New York City.  Greg performs exclusively on BRIO! Flutes.
