Presenting: Tutti Flutti

Pianist Jean Goyal left her native Singapore in 1985 to begin her American musical journey in Bloomington, Indiana. She earned her B.Mus. in chamber music and piano accompanying, along with an M.A. in musicology from Indiana University, Bloomington. At I.U., she collaborated across the music school, from voice to wind and string studios. She is grateful to have been coached not just by her piano teacher Edward Auer but also by maestros Janos Starker, Josef Gingold, and Csaba Erdelyi. Her Ph.D. (ABD) in musicology from Stanford University was fortuitously interrupted by the birth of her first child.

Over time, as her family matured, she rediscovered the joys of performing music and, through performance, returned to her study of music. Jean finds great fulfillment and joy in collaborating with others within the realm of chamber music and embraces every opportunity to share her music with audiences.

Flutist Beverly Radin, born in New York, exhibited her talent early on by winning first prize in a concerto competition at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and later claiming another victory at the Henry Flagler Competition. Her conservatory training began with the prep-division of Julliard and culminated with her earning a Master’s degree at the Manhattan School of Music where she tutored under the renowned flutist Frances Blaisdell. Additionally, she honed her craft through studies with other flute masters, most notably the celebrated flutists Jean-Pierre Rampal and Marcel Moyse.

Ms. Radin has performed chamber music at the Museum of Modern Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Society for Ethical Culture and the New York Historical Society. Her solo recitals have taken her to California, Florida and throughout the New York area. Ms Radin has been a Fellow for the Bach Aria Group Institute at Stony Brook, New York, and has played with orchestras at Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall and on tour through Italy. She continues to perform in the San Francisco Bay Area and is a founding member of the Encore Chamber Players in Palo Alto. At present she teaches at her Palo Alto studio and even on Zoom to India!

Our Mission

The major purpose of BMC is to provide competitive performance opportunities in a warm and supportive environment for gifted young musicians.

Our Beginning

The Burlingame Music Club (BMC), was founded March 5, 1930 by local music teachers, and is recognized as a music lover’s gem on the San Francisco Bay Area Peninsula.

What We Do

BMC monthly *programs* showcase performances by student musicians who are in competition for the BMC awards, and performances/demonstrations by guest artists who are typically professionals in their fields. In the Bay Area, we are fortunate to be able to tap into a highly diverse artistic community who expand our horizons and inspire us with performances often drawn from music from other parts of the world and representing a wide array of genres, styles and eras.

Join us every
2nd Monday, November through May
