Read this! After one of our latest concerts, the first with our new contrabass flute, this comment appeared in the letter section of The Westmorland Gazette.
As you might have noticed things have changed around here; we have a new-look web site (should be easier for us to keep it up to date) and a new section for photos.
Our new contrabass made it onto the local news! Have a look at the news article online. This appeal brought us another £250 in donations!
The Westmorland Gazette came along and took some great photos too…
After many months of fundraising, we were finally able to purchase a Contrabass flute from Eva Kingma, which we received at the start of January and have used in two of our rehearsals. This gigantic flute means that Suzanne has to come even earlier to set up and our practice room is a little crowded these days, but I am sure that everyone would agree that it was worth every penny and will be good to show off in our concerts in March!
You’ll find links for these on the left hand side of every page.
If you run a flute website and you’d like to share links with us, get in touch.
Having just made a recording of our recent concert repertoire in the lovely setting of Cartmel Priory, now is the time to put your orders in. Price £10, payable to Flutes & Co, they are available by post. Please email us for further details.
