The Seattle Flute Society presents recitals and masterclasses by distinguished artists - performers of classical, jazz, baroque, ethnic and contemporary flute music.

     Our members are amateur and professional flutists, teachers, students, flute makers, accompanists, listeners, patrons – anyone interested in the flute. Activities include meetings, ensemble performances, lectures, workshops, discussions, and solo performances by local and international flutists. Also, we sponsor a flute choir which rehearses weekly, and is open to all members. Our newsletter, published regularly between August and May, contains a calendar of events, articles of interest to members, and advertisements from our commercial and individual members.

     Monthly programs generally take place on the first Sunday of each month and may include workshops, recitals, lectures, or masterclasses. In April as an additional service to our membership, we hold our annual Flute Fair, where instruments, music, accessories and other flute-related merchandise are exhibited, demonstrated and sold. There is often a recital for our youngest members, too.

     In recent years we have sponsored appearances by outstanding artists such as Leone Buyse, Jeffrey Khaner, Julius Baker, Paula Robison, Ransom Wilson, Michel Debost and Robert Dick – just to name a few! With your support, attendance and membership, we will continue to bring acclaimed flutists and events to the area.

     In addition, the Horsfall Competition for young flutists is a yearly event sponsored by our Flute Society. Our Flute Choir gives seasonal concerts and issues invitations to regional flute choirs to join together for an entertaining flute choir festival in April.

     Send in your membership application today and join in a great season of fluting!
