A native of Houston, Texas, Delandria earned her undergraduate music bachelor’s degree from Prairie View A&M University and two graduate degrees from The Peabody Conservatory of Music: a master’s degree in classical flute and a graduate performance diploma in jazz. As a classical flutist, she has served as principal flutist of the Baytown Symphony and assistant/associate principal flutist while at Peabody.
