Yulia Berry, DMA, is a flutist, educator, and founder of Flute Almanac, an international platform dedicated to scholarship, performance, and artistic discourse within the flute community.

Her work integrates performance practice, historical understanding, pedagogy, and philosophical inquiry into musical interpretation. Over three decades of teaching and concert activity have informed a methodology centered on structural clarity, rhetorical awareness, and ethical listening.

Dr. Berry’s writing reflects a sustained engagement with the intellectual foundations of musical expression. Rather than separating technique from meaning, her approach considers them interdependent dimensions of interpretation.

When Sound Becomes Meaning represents a synthesis of these principles — an exploration of how sound, structure, and responsibility converge in mature artistry.

Her work examines the conditions under which musical sound acquires coherence, direction, and meaning.
