Vicki Boeckman

Recorder

Vicki Boeckman has been performing and teaching since the 1980s. Her career as a professional recorder player has been a highly rewarding journey with multi-faceted opportunities. Before settling in Seattle, she resided in Denmark from 1981-2005 and was privileged to collaborate with some of the finest musicians and composers of the day. Her Danish recorder trio Wood’N’Flutes had a fantastic 15-year run performing all over Europe and working with contemporary composers in addition to doing children’s theater. She was an adjunct professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen for 12 years and taught at the Ishøj Municipal School of Music for 23 years. Many of those students are now professionals, performing and teaching in conservatories in Denmark and around Europe.

In the Pacific Northwest Vicki has been a featured soloist with the Seattle Symphony, Seattle Baroque Orchestra, the Yakima Symphony, Portland Baroque Orchestra, The Oregon Symphony, Eugene Symphony, Portland Opera, Medieval Women’s Choir, Gallery Concerts, Boise Philharmonic, Philharmonia Northwest Orchestra, and the Skagit Symphony. She is currently a member of the Farallon Recorder Quartet, Music Director for the Seattle Recorder Society, Co-Director for the newly revived Recorder Orchestra of Puget Sound (ROPS), and Artistic Director for the Port Townsend Early Music Workshop. 

She adores teaching children as well as adults and has been on the faculty at Music Center of the Northwest since 2005 in addition to having a thriving home and Zoom studio. She is honored to be an integral part of Seattle’s vibrant early music community and overjoyed to be performing with the Seattle Bach Festival!
