About
Ami Humphreys started playing the fife at age 8, then learned the flute, saxophone and oboe before commencing their tertiary studies in flute at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in 2021. This degree has guided Ami’s musical development under the tutelage of James Kortum and Emma Sholl and provided the opportunity to study flute and piccolo abroad, at the Royal Danish Academy of Music, with Ulla Miilmann and Russell Itani. In Copenhagen, they had the pleasure of performing solo flute and piccolo recitals, along with chamber music performances, and participating in the Academy’s orchestra school program.
Ami has been a participant in SYO programs, playing principal flute with the philharmonic orchestra, and on occasion, flute, piccolo and alto flute with the SYO. Ami looks forward to their first time playing with AYO and is keen to revisit Europe on the 2025 international tour.
