Ransom Wilson

Whether Ransom Wilson is in front of an orchestra as a soloist or leading a group as a conductor, he is proud to be serving music and the vision of its composers. At the start of his career, Ransom knew he wanted to be a soloist just like his idol and teacher, Jean Pierre Rampal. He was immediately picked up by management, toured, and recorded albums. As Ransom began to feel disenchanted with the touring lifestyle, he turned to chamber music and he became the flutist for the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, a position he held for twenty years. Ransom incorporates his passion for chamber music in his curriculum at Yale University, where he is professor of flute.
