About Us

The Seattle Flute Society is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that was founded in 1979 by Felix Skowronek. To honor "all things flute," the SFS presents a yearly season of events, including recitals, masterclasses, workshops, and competitions. Each event features local, national, or international distinguished artists in all avenues of flute playing - performers of classical, jazz, baroque, contemporary, and world music.

​

Our members are amateur and professional flutists, teachers, students, flute makers, accompanists, listeners, patrons – anyone interested in the flute! The SFS also sponsors a flute choir which rehearses weekly and is open to all members. The SFS Season typically runs from September through April. Most events throughout the season take place on weekends. Every April, we hold our annual Flute Festival: a flute-filled day of activities including a workshop and recital with a high-caliber guest artist, a Flute Choir Showcase, our All-Members and Young Members Recitals, and Commercial Exhibits where instruments, music, accessories and other flute-related merchandise are exhibited, demonstrated and sold.

​

In recent years the Seattle Flute Society has sponsored appearances by outstanding artists such as Jennifer Grim, Jim Walker, Leone Buyse, Demarre McGill, Paul Edmund-Davies, Bonita Boyd, Marco Granados, and Denis Bouriakov – to name just a few!  With your support, attendance and membership, we will continue to bring acclaimed flutists and events to the area.
