SHANNA PRANAITIS
​
SHANNA PRANAITIS fearlessly expands the realm of sonic possibility for her instruments through innovative performances and educational projects, in which she integrates new and historically reimagined works with electronics, movement, and multi-disciplinary elements to create seamless, immersive concert experiences. She travels the world regularly to perform and teach as a solo guest artist and with the chamber ensembles she's founded: Memoria Nova and Collect/Project. She is the co-founder of FluteXpansions, the first comprehensive e-learning platform and laboratory for composers and performers to explore contemporary flute music and techniques.
