A native of Salt Lake City, Utah, Cindy Anne Broz began studying flute at the age of nine. Her primary teachers included members of the Utah Symphony (Erich Graf, Michael Vance, and Jane Wadsworth). She also studied privately with Julius Baker and Claude Monteux. While living in Utah, she performed with the Utah Opera, the Salt Lake City Chamber Orchestra, the Ballet West Orchestra, as well as the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
After moving to California, Ms. Broz established a career as a free-lance musician performing as a soloist, in chamber ensembles, and orchestras throughout Southern California. An active theater musician, she has played at San Diego’s leading venues including The Old Globe Theater (where she performed in the world premiere of Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods), the La Jolla Playhouse, and the San Diego Civic Center. She served as principal flutist with the California Consort Chamber Orchestra, and has performed with the San Diego Symphony, San Diego Chamber Orchestra, Classics4Kids Philharmonic, and the Pacific Lyric Opera Company. Cindy is the founding member of The WindSong Consort (mixed winds/wind quintet) and Flûtes de Salon (flute quartet).
Also a recitalist and presenter on the East Coast, Cindy has appeared as a soloist and clinician in the Philadelphia, New York City, Boston, Maine, and Washington D.C. regions, and is a frequent presenter at flute festivals and conventions for organizations including the National Flute Association, the Flute Society of Washington (Mid-Atlantic Flute Convention), the San Diego Flute Guild, the Flute Society of Greater Philadelphia, and the Greater Los Angeles Flute Society.
Cindy takes an active service role in musical communities throughout the United States. At present, she serves on the boards of the Flute Society of Greater Philadelphia and Connessa Collective. She was the President of the San Diego Flute Guild from 2004-2006, and served on this organization’s board for many years. She has also held roles and committee positions with the National Flute Association and the Flute Society of Washington (D.C.).
An award-winning educator and author, Ms. Broz has written articles for Flute Talk Magazine, Flutist Quarterly, and many other publications. In 2007, she was the subject of a full-length article ("Motivating Students: The Flute Studio of Cindy Anne Broz") in Flute Talk Magazine.

Several of her articles have been adopted as curriculum for university music programs. She is a member of ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers). Her flute and clarinet edition of A Treasury of Puccini Duets: 8 Favorite Arias is published by Theodore Presser Company and received the J.W. Pepper "Editor's Choice Distinction.”
