Latest news on fundraising

Our Christmas busking in Kendal this year – (the first outside gig for our contrabass!) – has raised nearly £120 for our funds.

Thanks to all those wonderful players - both current and past players of Flutes & Co – who didn’t mind how many times they played Rudolf the Red nosed Reindeer(?) and survived the perils of being smoked out by a thoughtless sedentary cigarette puffer!

Comments from latest Concert

suzanne — Mon, 24 May 2010 16:54:34 +0000

‘….hearing them playing orchestral music which had been specially arranged for their instruments, you quickly forgot they were all flute players; with a wide range of pitch and with such a rich blend of colour and tone they produced a truly memorable orchestral sound….. indeed you felt the repertoire might almost have been written specially for them!’

……..’Beautiful playing on Saturday. Best I’ve ever heard you: fluid and dynamic but with lots of feeling too. Great stuff’.

Did you miss us? Panic not! Luckily for you here you can hear a snatch of our Haydn’s Allegretto from his ‘Le Soir’ Symphony or Tallis’s Theme in the Third Mode arranged for 3 basses and a contrabass.
