The life of flutist Salpy Kerkonian is filled with: Vibrant Music, Vibrant Travels And Vibrant Musical Collaborations

The journey began at age 7 when Salpy discovered the flute at her elementary school in Los Angeles, California. From the first moment, Salpy knew that music would be her life and passion. That passion led her to win First Place in 14 Solo Competeitions; two International Chamber Music Competitions, the Coleman and Carmel; as well as a full scholarship to the USC School of Music where Miss Kerkonian received her Bachelor's and Masters Degrees, with Honors.

As symphonic flutist,  Salpy has served as Principal Flute of the Santa Cecilia Orchestra, American Youth Symphony, YMF Debut Orchestra, and Asst. Principal of the Glendale Symphony. In that capacity, Salpy had the honor of performing three times with Luciano Pavarotti and The Three Tenors, Andrea Bocelli, and twice in duo with Diva coloratura Sumi Jo.

Currently, Miss Kerkonian spends much of her year in vibrant travels as solo flutist with International singer Moien: visiting such extraordinary locations as: Kuala Lumpur; Dubai; Dushanbe Tajikistan on the Ancient Silk Road; Paris: London; Germany, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland: and Canada.

Salpy brings this vast experience in the vocal repertoire to the vibrant musical collaboration that is Trio America- dedicated to the art of American song.
