Flute Street

Read Profile

Now in its 14th season, Flute Street, Toronto's Professional Flute Choir, opens its four-concert series with “Ghost and Gargoyles” on November 1, featuring Canada's legendary flutist, Robert Aitken. Under the artistic direction of founder Nancy Nourse and with the nuanced conducting of Isaac Page, Flute Street is beloved for its exceptional and varied programming, depth and richness of tonal colours, precision in technical, rhythmic, and intonation matters, and above all, highly expressive interpretation. If you haven't already had the pleasure of hearing this delightful full-range chamber ensemble, comprised exclusively of flutists performing on nine different sizes of flutes from the tiny 30 cm piccolo through to Canada's only five metre double contrabass flute, be sure to set aside these Sunday afternoons at 4 pm: November 1, December 6, March 7, and May 30. All concerts are in the beautiful St Andrew's United Church, 117 Bloor Street East, conveniently located just steps from Yonge and Bloor. Come to hear flutes in an autonomous ensemble as you never have before!
