Flute Street

Read Profile

Flute Street, Toronto's Professional Flute Choir returns to the stage this season in October. The unique chamber ensemble is composed entirely of flutes from the tiny twelve inch piccolo through to the very rare twelve foot double contrabass flute. The group presents highly eclectic programs that include a mix of original works, settings of folk ballads, fascinating transcriptions of familiar classics, and a few ventures into the world of jazz and the popular. There are frequent guest artists. Versatility is Flute Street's watchword as members easily transfer from one size of flute to another. Occasionally, for variety from the full seven-octave range of the complete ensemble, Flute Street offers a selection using only the deeper-voiced altos, basses and contras. Or even present a piece exclusively for a dozen piccolos! Do join us this season as we welcome our new, talented composer/conductor, Isaac Page.
