Hailed by the Santa Barbara News Press as a “dazzlingly brilliant” and “breathtaking” flutist with “tremendous skill,” Megan Lanz (DMA) enjoys a fulfilling and multi-faceted career as a pedagogue, international solo performer, orchestral musician, and pit orchestra musician. She has performed with a great variety of ensembles and productions, including the Colorado Symphony Orchestra (under Andrew Litton and Peter Oundjian), Colorado Music Festival Orchestra, Crested Butte Festival Orchestra, Las Vegas Philharmonic, Cheyenne Symphony Orchestra, Greeley Philharmonic, the first national tour of Wicked, Phantom: The Las Vegas Spectacular, and Disney’s The Lion King. Megan is a Certified Meditation Instructor, with a specialization in Vipassana (insight & mindfulness), and uses her knowledge in mindfulness to seamlessly integrate self-awareness and flute performance. She helps individuals gain insight into their stress and anxiety triggers and guides them toward solutions to refocus and become more present and productive musicians. Her recent research into music psychology has resulted in her publication, Music and the Human Experience, published by Cognella Academic Publishing (1st edition, 2025).
