A flutist, recording artist, composer, arranger, Assistant Professor at Berklee College of Music, and Flute Faculty at Brookline Music School, Yağmur Soydemir has earned numerous awards in international solo flute and chamber music competitions across Europe. She has performed with more than 20 prominent symphony orchestras across Turkey, Europe, and the USA, in addition to delivering numerous solo and chamber music performances on live stages, radio, and television programs.

Expanding her expertise in classical music, she frequently performs with her own jazz band and in jazz big bands at prestigious venues, including the Berklee Performance Center, MGM Music Hall in Boston, as well as performing annually at the Turkish National Day ceremonies hosted by the Boston Turkish Consulate, at the Boston Turkish Consulate's Residency, and in the Massachusetts and Rhode Island State Houses.

 

As a composer and arranger, Yağmur’s works have been performed by small ensembles and orchestras with notable performances in Turkey and the USA.
 

In addition to her musical endeavors, Yağmur is an advocate for humanitarian causes. She has volunteered for community service programs supporting orphans in Ankara, Turkey, and led children’s choirs as a conductor. In Boston, she has performed in Outreach Concerts and co-produced the Earthquake Relief Project for Türkiye, a collaborative initiative to raise donations for earthquake victims in Turkiye, which brought 80 musicians from 30 different countries together, and was released in partnership with Berklee Productions.
 

She earned a Bachelor's Degree in “Flute Performance” from the Nice Conservatory in France, studied her first Master’s Degree in “Flute Performance” at the Conservatorio Della Svizzera Italiana in Lugano, Switzerland, followed by a “Professional Diploma” with a dual-major in “Contemporary Writing & Production” and “Jazz Performance” from Berklee College of Music, as well as earning another Master's Degree in “Contemporary Performance (Global Jazz Concentration)” from the Berklee Global Jazz Institute, where she was awarded a full-tuition scholarship twice.

Her professional experience also includes roles at Berklee College of Music as a “Temporary Rating Auditions Assistant” at the Ensemble Department, “Graduate Assistant” at the Berklee Global Jazz Institute, and “Project Assistant (Studio Recording Artist)” at the Berklee Film Scoring Studio Orchestra at the Screen Scoring Department.

 

Currently, beyond performing, recording in studios, composing, and arranging, Yağmur is a dedicated educator, offering both online and in-person flute instruction.

"Her flute speaks in any artistic language elegantly, imaginatively, passionately, and innovatively, while always maintaining a sense of peace and impeccable technique with a heartwarming tone. I also see she possesses a 'shine' that only a true artist can possess, she radiates in rainy, windy, and even in stormy weather."
