Paul Schliffer studied flute with Eleanor Lawrence in New York City and Robert Willoughby at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and later worked with the renowned flute virtuoso Marcel Moyse. A founding member of the French/ American group Ensemble Resonance, he can be heard on their recordings which were the first to present the Gurdjieff/De Hartmann piano repertoire in instrumental arrangements.  In 2007, as a result of a major grant from the New York State Music Fund, Mr. Schliffer produced two recordings: Latin Landscapes, featuring the original work and arrangements of Cuban/American composer Jose Lezcano, and Reflections, the result of a year-long project in free improvisation. Mr. Schliffer annually attends the International Flute Festival in Quito, Ecuador and concertizes widely in North & South America with the Latin Landscapes Trio, which includes Jose Lezcano, guitar and Matthew Shubin, bassoon.
