Aimee Toner - Flutist

Aimee works with clients to create a performance that best resonates with the event and audience members. Aimee likes to provide intimate musical offerings that explore a wide variety of time periods, performance techniques, and the use of technology and auxiliary instruments (including alto flute and piccolo). Aimee is committed to performing works that demonstrate stories from diverse composers, particularly works by female-identifying composers.

Flutist Aimee Toner is dedicated to relationship-building through music-making and expanding the scope and accessibility of the musical arts.
As a Northeastern nomad, Aimee thrives in regular transit between Boston, Providence, New York City, and New Haven for her performance and teaching endeavors.

Toner serves on the Artist Roster for the Lyric Chamber Music Society of New York. Her performance experience has involved serving as the principal flutist and piccolo player in orchestras including the Enigma Chamber Opera Orchestra, the New Amsterdam Opera, the Du Bois Symphony, and the New York Youth Symphony, and collaborating in chamber groups that have ranged from jazz trios in Italian restaurants to wind quintets on stage at Carnegie Hall. Aimee made her solo debut with the Columbia University Orchestra in April of 2019, where she performed “Poem” for flute and orchestra as the winner of the 2018 concerto competition. Aimee then headlined a contracted solo recital series along the East Coast before the onset of COVID, where she performed in St Simons Georgia and Jamestown NY.

Aimee is a recent graduate with a Master’s of Music from the New England Conservatory, where she studied with Cynthia Meyers of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and obtained a concentration in Music in Education. Toner is also a graduate of Barnard College of Columbia University (Phi Beta Kappa), where she majored in Ethnomusicology and Economics. In line with her performance values, Aimee is dedicated to the accessibility of classical music, and has expressed this passion through her work as faculty at the Rhode Island Philharmonic Music School, founder of the “Music in Motion” chamber series and “Virtual School Song” project, and as the Manager of the Brockton Symphony Orchestra’s Marketing and Fundraising initiatives.

Aimee currently lives in New Haven, Connecticut with her two rescue cats Billie and Bean. She enjoys taking bike rides, exploring photography, and finding four leaf clover along the way.
