Manose Singh is a virtuoso Nepalese flautist born in Boudhanath, Nepal in 1979. He starting playing the flute at a very young age with Mandan Dev Bhatta as his teacher. Even during childhood, he used to mesmerize overhearers as he practiced on his own in the open air. He later received training in Indian classical music and Raaga. He is equally adept in western style music as well. He is a founding member of one of the most popular Nepali rock bands- 1974A.D. as well as the band Sukarma. He has also taught music at universities in Nepal and the US.

Leader and founder of Jethro Tull and veteran of the 1970s folk rock and progressive rock scene, this eccentric and highly charismatic minstrel who used to get the most incredible sounds from his golden flute is now in his late fifties, yet shows no signs of slowing down. Indeed, he keeps on touring and churning out albums despite a totally apathetic music industry. In 1983 he decided to go solo and has since graced us with four new albums.

Paul Taffanel is regarded as the founder of the French Flute School that dominated much of flute composition and performance during the mid-20th century. Born on September 16, 1844, in Bordeaux, France, Taffanel's first flute lessons (at age nine) were from his father. He gave his first concert around the age of ten. He then went on to study at the Paris Conservatory under Louis Dorus, where he graduated in 1860.
