April Clayton, formerly principal flutist with the New York Lyric Orchestra, has performed in four continents and is flute professor at Brigham Young University.

The New York Concert Review (Anthony Aibel) wrote: "Her performance...was superb...thoroughly polished playing. Utah is lucky to have her."
