Kelly Watson Woelffer is a versatile flutist and composer based in Berlin and New York. She is the flutist and founder of Hear Now Berlin, a contemporary classical sextet at the forefront of the contemporary classical scene in Europe. Hear Now Berlin released their critically acclaimed debut album in 2023, Music in Circles (Backlash Music). The Guardian described the album as “an intriguing gem…from punchy and energetic…to shadowy sounds of the night… this is one of the most interesting chamber music albums I’ve heard recently.”

As a composer/performer, Kelly finds herself most at home in music written by living composers, where genres are fluid and musicians are challenged to bring unique and personal contributions to the performance. As a bandleader, Kelly released two albums of original music: From the Shelf (CD Baby, 2006) and dear and bare (Phonector, 2008). Her piece, the (un)raveling can be found on Music in Circles.
