Amara Cunningham has been playing music for over ten years with various local ensembles. Currently, she participates in Monadnock Flutes, the Keene State College Symphonic Band, and the Keene Legion Band in addition to playing with Flootissimo. She has been involved with the UMass Youth Wind Ensemble, UMass Honor Band and New Hampshire All State Wind Ensemble in the past.  When she is not enjoying music, Amara works as an insurance agent in her hometown of Keene, New Hampshire.

Laura Botkin practices physical therapy at Wilkerson and Golden PT Associates in Turners Falls, when she's not practicing flute.  She has also played in the pit orchestra for numerous musical productions at the Shea Theater, and is a member of Monadnock Flutes, a flute choir out of Franklin Pierce University.

Deb Kilyanczik graduated from Keene State College a hundred or so years ago, with a Bachelor in Music Ed.  She makes her living disguised as an Insurance professional, as she is a Sr. Business Analyst for Liberty Mutual Insurance Co.  In addition to being a member of Flootissimo, she is a member of the Westmoreland Town Band, and has played with the Keene State College Flute Ensemble.  She also had the opportunity to substitute in the NH Philharmonic Orchestra out of Manchester, NH.  She is a member of Quintessence, a woodwind quintet, and Harpwind, an Irish Harp and Flute duo, both based out of her hometown of Marlborough, NH.  (Deb is studying Harp, but Harpwind features Melanie Everard, with Deb on flute.) Deb is very involved in her church, and had been the Choir Director for many years.  She also does a great deal of solo work there, including the Performing Artist Series which was held in Marlborough in the past.

Jen Kramer is the owner of 4Web, Inc., where she builds websites by day. After playing excessively in high school, she dropped flute for 17 years, picking it up again 7 years ago. She currently plays with the Metropolitan Flute Orchestra; the Keene State College Flute Ensemble, Symphonic Band, and Orchestra; the Nashua Flute Choir; and she is a founding member of Flootissimo. Jen has never met a flute she didn't absolutely love, so she plays piccolo, C flute, alto flute, bass flute, and contrabass flute. She also buys far too much music, having a file cabinet full of flute duets, trios, and quartets. Fortunately, Flootissimo doesn't seem to mind.
