Flute Street

Read Profile

Flute Street, Toronto’s professional flute choir, opens its 12th season in a new venue: the acoustically fine and easily accessible St. Andrew’s United Church, 117 Bloor Street East. Under the artistic direction of founder Nancy Nourse and conductor Isaac Page, Flute Street offers its growing audiences highly polished and musical renderings of the very best original works, recently composed for a full range flute ensemble. From the gigantic double contrabass flute (the only one in Canada) to the tiny piccolo on the top, Flute Street fills seven octaves with vivid flute colours. Along with the original repertoire, they perform symphonic transcriptions, Renaissance and Baroque fare, folk song settings, the occasional jazz standard and solo performances by Canadian and international guest artists. Additionally, this season, two exciting new works from Flute Street’s recent “Call for Scores” will be premiered. Please join us on:

• Sunday, November 2, 2025, 4pm - “Colour Configurations”
• Sunday, December 14, 2025, 4pm - “Chestnuts, Candy Canes, and Carols”
• Sunday, April 26, 2026, 4pm – “Flutes and Fantasies”, Laurel Swinden, guest artist
