Gisela Mashayekhi-Beer (born before 1966) is an Austrian flautist and professor at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna as well as lecturer at the Joseph-Haydn-Konservatorium des Landes Burgenland [de].
During her time in Salzburg, she also took part in the master classes of the Summer school with Peter-Lukas Graf.
In 1986 Schulz brought her into the Vienna Chamber Orchestra as his successor, with whom she also played her first major tours in South America and Japan.
So there were for example concerts with contemporary Japanese composers, together with European composers who were influenced by Japanese art and traditional Japanese music; or Austrian contemporary music together with Johann Sebastian Bach's The Musical Offering, or even a portrait of the Persian poet Forugh Farrokhzad, with compositions by the Persian composer Nader Mashayekhi and recitation by the actress Hanna Schygulla, to name but a few of the projects.
During this time, Mashayekhi-Beer intensified her engagement with contemporary music and its instrument-specific new techniques and profited from collaborations with composers such as Hans Zender, Toru Takemitsu, and Peter Ablinger.
