Sheffield Flute Choir
Sheffield Flute Choir is a friendly group of adult flute players based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. We play a mixture of classical, jazz and modern repertoire on flutes, piccolos, alto and bass flutes.
We normally rehearse once a month on a Saturday morning, and perform at a variety of local events. Recent performances include the Classical Sheffield Festival, the Lord Mayor's Charity Dinner at Sheffield Town Hall, Sharrow Vale Market, Devonshire Market, Bird's Yard Craft Fair, Open Platform at Access Space, the opening of the Galvanize Festival at Bank Street Arts, plus events at Wentworth Woodhouse, Elsecar Heritage Centre, Whirlow Hall Farm, Weston Park Museum, Cannon Hall and Worsbrough Mill.
We're always keen to collaborate with other musical groups and composers, and love trying out new compositions and arrangements for flutes!
