FLUTE ENSEMBLE

Back to Ensembles listingcollegium musicum

The University Flute Ensemble was founded in 2000 to rehearse and perform music for the entire flute family, including piccolo, C flute, alto flute and bass flute. The group rehearses weekly and performs major concerts twice a year, playing music for the entire ensemble and breaking out into smaller quartets and trios. Mixed chamber music for flutes with guitar, clarinet and other instruments is offered as well. The ensemble, under the direction of Cynthia Ellis, periodically invites guest ensembles to perform with the Flute Ensemble. Recent guests have included the Los Angeles Flute Ensemble and the Orange County High School of the Arts Flute Ensemble. In addition, in 2006 the ensemble had a transcription of Mozart's Allegro con spirito from the Symphony No.35 (Haffner), K 385 dedicated to them, and it received its West Coast premiere in May, 2007 by the Flute Ensemble and alumni flutists.
