MUSICAL MONDAYS // It’s #MusicalMondays with the Boston Ballet Orchestra, featuring flutist Hayley Miller. Originally from Canandaigua, NY, she started her training in the 4th grade at her public school. 

🪈Favorite piece of music to perform: are you really a flutist if it's not the Chaminade, Concertino? 
🎼 Favorite composer: Gustav Mahler 
🐶 Superpower wish: aA magic button that summons all the dogs 
🩰 Favorite ballet score: Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring 
✈️ Best place ever traveled to: Portugal 
🍹 Guilty Pleasure: Homemade cocktail & a plush bathrobe 
🍿Favorite Dance Movie: Dirty Dancing 
🍦Favorite mid-day snack: Ice cream cone, preferably with rainbow sprinkles 
💿 Current soundtrack to your life: Noah Kahan 
🤫 Secret skill: My unique bowling form 
☀️ Can’t live without: Sunshine 
🎶 Music is: Healing 
🪄Who inspired you to perform: I picked the flute because my aunt played 
✨ Best advice you have for aspiring musicians: Keep pouring yourself into your dreams, even when you're scared; and don't put too much weight on the "no’s" you inevitably accumulate along the way. 
⭐️ Why Boston Ballet? I love Boston, and I love playing classical music—very grateful to be here!
