Madelin Sintiris graduated this May with a Master’s of Music degree in Flute Performance at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. Madelin earned her Bachelor’s of Music in Flute Performance from the University of Maine. Throughout her musical journey, Madelin has been under the mentorship of flutists Lyndsay Boysen, Elizabeth Downing at the University of Maine, and Dr. Cobus du Toit at the University of Massachusetts. Last June, she participated in the Rocky Ridge Music Festival in Estes Park, Colorado, where she learned from Dr. Claudia Anderson, Grinnell College’s flute professor. 

This June, Madelin performed on flute, piccolo, and alto flute in the pit orchestra for A Man of No Importance with The Players’ Ring Theater Company. In September, she will be in the pit orchestra for Seussical at the Derry Opera House. Currently, Madelin is 2nd flute/piccolo in TUNDI Productions' Wagner in Vermont, where they are performing Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen, also known as the Ring Cycle.

In her Master's of Music program at The University of Massachusetts in Amherst, Madelin was principal flute in the school’s top ensemble, Wind Ensemble, and was a member of the Flute Ensemble. In November 2023, the Flute Ensemble at the University of Massachusetts premiered "This!" by Amanda Harberg at the Flute Center of New York. Last April, Madelin performed with the UMass Flute Ensemble at the International Low Flutes Festival in Washington D.C. In May 2024, Madelin and the UMass Wind Ensemble went to Ecuador to perform at multiple venues in and around Quito. The Wind Ensemble played alongside the professional band, La Banda Synfonica Metropolitana, at La Casa de Musica, the home of La Orquesta Sinfonica Nacional del Ecuador. While in Quito, she also had the opportunity to teach middle school students during a flute masterclass led by the UMass flute graduate students.

When not performing, Madelin enjoys teaching flute to students of all ages. She teaches privately throughout the academic year and during the summer. The past two summers, Madelin has been the flute instructor at the Southern Maine Music Academy and Southern Maine Junior Music Academy at the University of Southern Maine.
