Sharon Bezaly was featured in BBC Music Magazine’s “Six of the Best… Flautists”, described as “one of the best classical flute players of recent years.” The article praises her early debut at 13 with Zubin Mehta, her championing of new works, and the fact that over 20 concertos have been composed for her, including by Kalevi Aho and Sofia Gubaidulina.
“Twenty concertos have been dedicated to her… she is renowned for bringing lesser‑known concertos to life.”
— BBC Music Magazine
She will perform at the Syros Festival (October 21–25, 2025), offering both classic and contemporary repertoire at the Apollon Theatre.
