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!

Join us!
New members are very welcome. If you're over 18 and around Grade 5 standard upwards, we'd love you to join us. It doesn't matter if you're a bit 'rusty' and haven't played for a while. If you've never played piccolo, alto or bass flute before, we are happy to share instruments to let people have a go!
We generally have ten morning rehearsals per year. Fees are £7 per rehearsal or a single payment of £65 per year. Some rehearsals are followed by an afternoon workshop/ informal concert with some of my flute pupils and in the summer we run a full-day open rehearsal/ playday. There is no extra charge for these for flute choir members.
If you're interested in joining, please contact sheffieldflute@gmail.com and we'll send you more information and rehearsal dates.
