This Week’s Performing Arts Will Be: Alina Steele and Phillip Matsuura

Alina Steele is a devoted educator and spends much of her time teaching flute. Teaching and supporting her private flute students to reach their performance goals, her flute students are some of California’s finest young musicians winning top level competitions such as MTAC VOCE competitions, SDFG Youth Artist Competitions, and earning top spots in local youth orchestras such as San Diego Youth Symphony, Mainly Mozart Youth Orchestra, and All-State ensembles. Professor Steele is a part-time music faculty at Palomar College, where she teaches flute and performs with the Palomar Symphony.

Alina Steele received a Bachelor of Music in flute performance and a Bachelor of Science in Sound Recording Technology from DePaul University School of Music in Chicago. She holds a Master of Music degree in Music Technology from New York University. Fortunate to have studied with some of the most highly regarded flutists of our time, Alina Steele’s principal flute teachers have included Linda Chesis, Mary Stolper, Jennifer Clippert, and Robert Dick.

Professor Steele continues to be an active performer in chamber and orchestral settings, and she performs with the Swarmius Ensemble as Flutastica. Alina Steele has served on the Board of Directors of San Diego Flute Guild from 2016-2023, and currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Northern San Diego Branch of the Music Teachers’ Association of California.

Phillip Matsuura enjoys an active and varied career as a keyboardist in many mediums. Highly sought-after as a collaborator, chamber musician and ballet pianist, his recital partners have included principals of Jacksonville and Kansas City symphonies, and his private vocal clients have included singers affiliated with The Metropolitan Opera, The Royal Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Bayerische Staatsoper, Staatstheater Darmstadt and the Wiener Kammeroper. As a ballet pianist, he has worked with such institutions as American Ballet Theatre, the Bolshoi Ballet, United Ukrainian Ballet, Boston Ballet and Ballet Arizona. He is also active in the milieu of historically informed performance, where he focuses on continuo realization and has performed as a harpsichordist and organist in Boston-, Chicago- and Los Angeles-based ensembles. He recently earned the title Doctor of Musical Arts from the Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California, and holds degrees from the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University and the Conservatory of Music at Oberlin College.
