    Artist Biography

    Cathy Collinge Herrera

    “When I decided to explore moving from my beautiful silver Miyazawa to the colors the 14k model could offer, I’ll never forget the reaction both Cathy Miller (President of Miyazawa U.S.) and I had when I began to play on the flute I eventually purchased. We both said, “Woah!” The richness sang straight to my heart. What a privilege it is to explore musical expression with this flute. The lip plate engraving I chose to reduce the chance of slippage is a piece of art as well! I am forever grateful for the wonderful friendships and support of my career I have received for decades from the Miyazawas, Wests, Cathy and Flute Authority crew.”
