Special Guest

About 30 years ago, Dutch flutist Berdien Stenberg made a spectacular entrance into the music world. In her own way, with her sparkling flute playing, she made a bridge between classical and popular music. In no time, Rondo Russo was the number one hit in the Dutch charts. Berdien turned out to be the childhood idol of many of today’s flute teachers.
