Episode Synopsis

Mindy Kaufman joined the New York Philharmonic after winning her audition for the flute and solo piccolo chair in 1979 at the age of 22. Her audition in the final round was full of snafus that could’ve thrown her off, but Mindy relied on the hard work she had put in to her preparation and rolled with the punches- and she ended up winning. Since then, she has performed a slew of concerts and chamber concerts with the Phil, recorded a solo album, recorded piccolo concerti, and freelanced as a film score musician.
