Flute player Tyler Evans-Knott, a member of Curve Lake First Nation near Peterborough, Ont., dreams of becoming a professional orchestra musician.
The 20-year-old flautist has been playing the flute for 11 years.
As a child, the sound of the flute caught his young ears while watching an orchestra performance on TV. I liked that it sort of carried over the rest of the orchestra, Evans-Knott said. It was the most prominent thing I could pick out.
