Rebecca Kleinmann started synthesizing her diverse musical interests as a flutist and vocalist at Indiana University, where she began her studies as a Classical Flute performance major and historically graduated as the first Jazz Flute major in the history of the school’s Jazz Studies program, thanks to the support of her beloved mentor, the late David Baker. She then moved to California where she lived for 20 years performing widely, teaching music and began yearly pilgrimages to Brazil where she cultivated her love and understanding of various Brazilian musical genres. Now newly based in her home state of North Carolina, Rebecca leads her Quintet "RKQ" which was awarded the 2024 Chamber Music America Performance Plus grant. She leads Brazilian Choro groups "Noites Carolinas,” and “Forró Triângulo” and is a professor at UNC Chapel Hill as the director of "Charanga Carolina” focused on Caribbean and South American music. She has toured world-wide from Spain to Australia, performed and recorded with Grammy winning artists including Hermeto Pascoal, Airto Moreira, and Taylor Eigsti and has been featured at major festivals and venues including the San Jose Jazz Festival, Healdsburg Jazz Festival, Birdland, Yoshi’s and SF Jazz. Rebecca recently won her first Grammy due to her participation on Taylor Eigsti's Best Contemporary Instrumental Album "Plot Armor."
