Jess Naomi

Jess Naomi is a London-based flautist and writer whose creative practice spans new opera, music theatre, and collaborative interdisciplinary work, exploring music, language, and the spaces between them. She studied both Classical Flute and Opera Making (as a librettist) at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where she has recently graduated from.
As a flautist, Jess is a member of The Nuada Quintet; they have performed as a wind quintet in the UK and in Spain and in venues such as BBC Maida Vale Studios, Milton Court and the Teatro del Barrio. She was a finalist in the Needlemakers Competition in 2024 and has performed and recorded numerous new contemporary works including pieces for beatbox flute and collaborations with dancers.
Jess is extremely interested in the crossover between words and music and is the librettist of two chamber operas: Medusa (written with composer Goi Ywei Chern) and Alexander and the Tree (with music by Sorena Sabah). Both operas premiered in Summer 2025, with Medusa being described as a ‘stunning reimagining’, a ‘rare and empathetic exploration of the girl before the monster’ (Everything Theatre). Much of her work explores themes of belonging, the body, and emotional inheritance; her poetry collection I have a body no longer was commended in the Indigo First Collection Competition in January 2025.

She graduated with Distinction in her MA from the Royal Academy of Music, where she was awarded the DipRam for her final recital, the Edlee Prize for Singing and the Edwin Samuel Dove Prize, selected from the whole of the Academy. From 2026 she is an Equilibrium Young Artist, sponsored by Barbara Hannigan.
