“Brilliant staging and performance of this iconic piece. Wonderful flute quiver, extended techniques, and vocalizations. Stockhausen described this work as a “flute spirit in human costume;magically enchanted” and Eftihia perfectly achieved this.”
“Very convincing performance. Eftihia is a natural performer who conveys her ideas and narrative very well”
“This performance is brilliant! I am moved by the energy and artistry brought to this piece. It is wonderful.”

“Tesserae” is out NOW!
During the summer of 2020, BETA Quartet hosted a living room concert that was enjoyed by an international audience from the safety of their own homes. Connecting with several composers and many other flutists through this innovative concert, the idea was born to produce an album of exciting, accessible flute quartet music. “Tesserae” features works by celebrated composers, Valerie Coleman, Allison Loggins-Hull, Anže Rozman, Julián Plaza, Manuel Carranza Cuerto, Daniel Baldwin, as well as the commission of a new piece by Kurton Harrison III.
