Arturo Rodriguez is a Chicano flutist, composer, and executive professional based in the San Francisco Bay Area. With nearly three decades of experience as a performer, educator, and composer, he has established himself as a dynamic and versatile musician. He regularly collaborates with ensembles such as the San Francisco Philharmonic, Bay Area Rainbow Symphony, and Awesöme Orchestra Collective, bringing expressive artistry and technical mastery to the stage.

As a sought-after chamber musician, Arturo is a core member of Ensemble 126, a flute septet specializing in contemporary and experimental repertoire, and co-founded the Melanin Rhapsody Flute Choir, which made its acclaimed debut at the 2024 National Flute Association Convention. His chamber music experience also includes performances with the Etesian Duo, Homme Wind Quintet, and The Deep Tones Wind Quintet.

Arturo's orchestral career spans numerous prestigious ensembles, having held positions with the San Jose Symphonic Choir, Diablo Symphony Orchestra, Oakland Civic Orchestra, and Korsa (formerly YMTC). As a piccolo and flute specialist, he has performed with the University of the Pacific Symphony and Operatic Orchestra, Young People's Symphony Orchestra, and Oakland Youth Symphony Orchestra, among others.

He has also participated in international festivals such as the Alfredo de Saint-Malo Music Festival in Panama, the UC Berkeley Summer Symphony, and the Young People's Symphony Orchestra’s tour in Sydney, Australia.

As a composer, Arturo’s work includes the Requiem Sinfonica, a large-scale orchestral piece commemorating the victims of the Ghost Ship warehouse fire, which premiered with the Awesöme Orchestra Collective in 2022. His compositions and arrangements for flute ensembles have been featured at major events, including the National Flute Association Convention.
