Brandon LePage

Brandon LePage is the principal flutist of the WCO

Michigan based flutist Dr. Brandon LePage has held the Principal Flute position with the WCO since 2016. He is the child of two very musical parents and grew up on a healthy diet of Bach organ fugues, the Spice Girls, and a fabulous blend of many other musical genres. As an elementary school student, Brandon started his professional career as a member of the Children’s Chorus with the Michigan Opera Theatre (now called "Detroit Opera"), and since birth he has not stopped singing, dancing, or working hard to find any possible way to express himself through all musical means available.

Proudly on faculty at Oakland University as Lecturer of Flute, Brandon has also taught as a faculty member of the Flint School of Performing Arts. His teaching is in high demand around the country and across the world, with his most recent guest appearances happening at the University of Wisconsin Madison, and the University of Windsor (Canada). For the 24/25 season, Brandon is filling a one-year position as Solo Piccolo with the Toledo Symphony Orchestra in Ohio while also serving as Principal Flute of the Flint Symphony Orchestra. He has performed as Principal Flute with the Detroit Symphony, Milwaukee Symphony, Detroit Opera Orchestra, Toledo Symphony, and Columbus Symphony (where he is also an Associate Musician). Brandon spends many of his long drives indulging in the music of pop divas from the 2000’s (Britney Spears is a particular favorite) and catching up with family and friends from coast to coast. His flute and harp duo, the Dynamic Duo, serve as Artists in Residence for the Chamber Artists of Southeast Michigan summer concert series (of which Brandon is the founder) and is currently in the process of commissioning and recording an album to be released in the fall of 2026. Brandon completed his Doctorate of Musical Arts at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 2024 while studying with Professor Amy Porter.
