Shreya Girish is a senior at Case Western Reserve University, where she studies flute with Heidi Ruby-Kushious while pursuing majors in Systems Biology, Flute Performance, and Humanity and Technology. At CWRU, Shreya performs with Symphonic Winds, the Case/University Circle Symphony Orchestra (CUCSO), and the Baroque Orchestra, and is an avid chamber musician, performing in flute duos, quartets, and Baroque chamber ensembles. In 2024, she was invited to join a twelve-member chamber wind symphony for the Ohio premiere of Kevin Day’s Symphony Basquiat. She was honored to be a recipient of the 2025 Ronis Recital Prize, a winner of the 2025 CWRU Concerto Competition, and a two-time prizewinner at Tuesday Musical’s Performance Scholarship Competition, where she received 3rd place in 2024 and 2nd place in 2025. During the 2025-26 season, she performed Khachaturian’s Concerto in d minor with the Euclid Symphony and François Borne’s Carmen Fantasy with CUCSO.

Shreya made her orchestral solo debut at age sixteen with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra after being named a finalist in the Stars of Tomorrow Competition. Prior to college, she served as Drum Major of her high school marching band and played Reed 1 in the pit orchestra. She was Principal Flute of multiple ensembles with the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra, including the flagship Senior Symphony, where she performed works such as Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade and Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 2. She won MYSO’s Concerto Competition twice, performing Donjon’s Pan! and Chaminade’s Concertino, Op. 107, and traveled with the ensemble to Belgium and the Netherlands to perform in the Royal Concertgebouw and Queen Elisabeth Hall. Shreya was also a three-time recipient of WSMA’s state-level Exemplary Performance Award.

As an accomplished pianist, Shreya earned multiple “superior” rankings in the Wisconsin Federation of Music Clubs competition and first prizes in the MAPTA competition. Beyond performance, Shreya has inspired younger musicians through six years of private flute teaching. She also combines her scientific and artistic interests through research on neurological responses to Western Classical music. She is deeply grateful for the support of her family, teachers, mentors, and peers throughout her musical journey.
