Canadian flutist Jeffrey Khaner joined the Philadelphia Orchestra as Principal Flute at the beginning of the 1990/1991 season following his Principal position with the Cleveland Orchestra from 1982 through 1990. Prior to his appointment in Cleveland, Mr. Khaner served as Co-Principal Flute of the Pittsburgh Symphony, the Principal Flute of the Mostly Mozart Festival in New York and the Atlantic Symphony in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
As a soloist, Jeffrey Khaner has appeared with the Montreal Symphony, the Milwaukee Chamber Orchestra, the Mostly Mozart Festival, the Atlantic Symphony and, on numerous occasions, with both the Cleveland and Philadelphia Orchestras.
