The
flute
- Mozart once called it 'Magic' and went on to write an
entire opera on its enchanting qualities. But long before the
classical era of Wolfgang Amadeus - perhaps as far back as the
dawn of civilization - the evolution of the flute set out on
a remarkable journey which parallels the development of music
itself.
The
Flute Symphony of Lexington Welcomes
You!
MISSION
STATEMENT:
To
maintain a multigenerational flute ensemble in a friendly and
supportive environment that provides the highest quality of
musical performance throughout the Lexington community.
 The
Composition Crusade Program has been made possible through
a generous grant from LexArts. All LexArts programs
and services are supported in part by the Kentucky ArtsCouncil,
a state agency in the commerce cabinet and the Lexington-Fayette
Urban County Government. The program will feature a series
of workshops for flutists, working alone or in groups, to compose
their own works, rehearse them with FSL, and ultimately present
a World Premiere performance. In addition, composer Sonny Burnette
will be writing a new flute choir piece specifically for The Flute
Symphony of Lexington. Watch this space for information on how
to get involved!
