“…Lindsey Goodman performs impeccably with superlative elegance and flair featuring both her flute and her voice.”
- The Flute View
Flutist Lindsey Goodman “is nothing short of mesmerizing. Each note is infused with emotion”. (The Flute View) A charismatic soloist, recording artist, chamber collaborator, orchestral musician, educator, and clinician, she made her sold-out Carnegie Hall debut in Weill Recital Hall to three curtain calls and a standing ovation. Lindsey’s solo and chamber concerts, masterclasses, and presentations have been enthusiastically received at Lincoln Center, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Google headquarters, the Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone podcast, Eastman School of Music, University of Cincinnati College–Conservatory of Music, Oberlin Conservatory of Music, several National and Canadian Flute Association conventions, and throughout China.
Renowned for her “energy and artistry, conveying her exuberance and creativity” (On Stage Pittsburgh), Lindsey is one of North America’s leading electroacoustic flute specialists and a passionate advocate for living composers, having premiered over 225 works. Her four solo albums of new music are “a feast of sound and texture, showcasing her skill as a flutist and an interpreter of contemporary music”. (The Flutist Quarterly) A PARMA Recordings artist, Lindsey appears on the Navona, New World, BMOP/sound, Albany, and New Focus labels, among others, receiving frequent national and international airplay.
​
Hailed as “a flutist who has it all” (The Whole Note), Lindsey serves as principal flutist of the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra, instructor of flute at Otterbein University and Glenville State University, artist faculty at the Mostly Modern Festival, and solo flutist of the new music ensemble What Is Noise. She is a founding member of flute quartet PANdemonium4, the flute and harp Apollo Duo, and Chrysalis, a singing flutist and pianist duo showcasing her training as a classical mezzo-soprano. Lindsey studied with Robert Langevin and Walfrid Kujala, earning degrees from the Manhattan School of Music, Northwestern University, and Duquesne University, graduating summa cum laude.
In the 2025 - 2026 season, Lindsey showcases her “palette of tone colors, including cool silver, warm chocolate, the bright colors of a sunrise, and the deep blue of midnight” (The Flutist Quarterly) with the release of her fifth solo album, transporting bright, concerto appearances with the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra, Resonance Works, and the University of Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and premieres by Ching-chu Hu, Linda Kernohan, and Roger Zahab.
“This remarkable flutist, celebrated for her bold interpretations and impeccable technique” (The Flute View) lives in Pickerington, Ohio with her husband, percussionist and composer Chris Carmean, and their energetic Bichon Frise, Beau. Lindsey enjoys vegan cookery, distance running, and planning her next adventure.
