Flutist Sir JAMES GALWAY is internationally regarded as both a matchless interpreter of the classical repertoire and a consummate entertainer whose charismatic appeal crosses all musical boundaries. Since the beginning of his solo career in 1975, when he left his position as principal flutist of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and a bit earlier, of Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the London Symphony Orchestra, Mr. Galway has circled the globe many times. In June 2001, Sir James Galway was honored with a Knighthood for services to music. Just as reviewed by Musicians: James Galway is undoubtedly a legend of flute.
