In addition to his work at the University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill, Brooks' flute career has literally spanned the United States and the world.  Brooks pursues music as a way to communicate across cultures using a universal language.  


Brooks de Wetter-Smith's performances have included international recitals, solo work and masterclasses across the United States and:

 
  • 20 countries in Eastern and Western Europe
  • Israel
  • Palestine
  • Brazil
  • Hong Kong
  • Taiwan
  • China

    Brooks' recordings cover a wide range of music styles including baroque, romantic, twentieth-century and jazz-inspired works. This year's releases include two with the London Symphony Orchestra and two with the Nashville Symphony, all of which feature music for tenor, flute and orchestra.


    In his research, Brooks has focused on previously unpublished 19th-century romantic music, several of which he has recorded and published with International Music Company and Southern Music Company.

                     

    “From the beautifully serene opening of the first movement to the virtuosic fireworks in the finale of this brilliant new concerto, de Wetter-Smith enthralled his audience with his sensuous tone, exquisite phrasing and effortless technique. It was an altogether stunning performance.”  -- Walfrid Kujala (Chicago Symphony Orchestra)
