Anatolia Evarkiou-Kaku, presently a freshman at Pomona College, earned YAG honors in 2009 and won first place as the Rodetsky Scholarship recipient at the YAG MTAC Convention Recital in Santa Clara. She is a Natenstedt scholar and has been active in the MTAC Certificate of Merit Program since Level I in sixth grade and earned many awards along the way, including first place in the Woodwinds division of the San Diego MTAC Concerto Competition, performing as a soloist with the New City Sinfonia.

Anatolia participated in San Diego Youth Symphony for all of her high school years as well as the San Diego Civic Youth Orchestra her senior year. She also was a member of her school Concert Band at the Francis Parker School. She has also won numerous awards in San Diego Flute Guild Festivals from middle school through high school. In summer 2009 she studied at the Eastern Music Festival in North Carolina; in summer of 2008, she attended the National High School Music Institute at Northwestern University.

Anatolia's other engagements have included performing a Prelude concert for the La Jolla Music Society in 2009 and performing for various charitable causes over the years. Anatolia most recently won first place in the Pomona College Concerto Competition and will solo with the Pomona College Orchestra in March of 2010.

Anatolia has studied with Maestro Claude Monteux, Walfred Kujala, Brian Gordon, and Les Roettges but she has studied principally with Jane Masur. Currently, she studies with Rachel Rudich at Pomona College as well as Catherine Ransom Karoly, Associate Principal Flute of the LA Philharmonic.

Anatolia hopes to major in Music Performance and Chemistry, although music seems to tug at her heart more these days. She is very pleased Dana Burnett joins her in San Francisco as her collaborative pianist.
