Willow Flute Ensemble Information

Willow specializes in music from cultures around the world, expanding the styles of music available to flutes. Their recent CD, World Winds, features music from Venezuela, Romania, Russia, and elsewhere. WFE performs European and American classical repertoire as well, both traditional and newly-composed. Other recent projects from the Willow Flute Ensemble include commissioning new compositions; premiering new works; organizing concerts for more than 40 flutes (the popular "Mega-Flute" concerts); and frequent performances in concert halls, churches, libraries and community events throughout Massachusetts and beyond. Selected performances from the past few seasons include Waltham's "3rd Sundays @ 3" chamber music series; the Winchester Community Music School Fundraiser for Japan Earthquake Relief; Arlington's Menotomy Concert Series; concerts at libraries in Amherst, NH and Quincy, MA; and two headlining nights at Harvard Square's venerable Club Passim, which is widely-respected as a focal point of the national folk music scene. The Willow Flute Ensemble has published two CDs, available at CDBaby. Whether it's a seaside art gallery, a children's concert, or an invited performance at the National Flute Association Annual Convention, audiences rave about the variety of styles, the energy, the flexibility of sound, and just plain fun of listening to those unusual flute sounds.
