Repertoire
The National Flute Orchestra was founded to showcase the full flute family - from piccolo to sub-contrabass flute - giving the orchestra the same pitch range as a traditional string or symphony orchestra.
Concentrating on music originally written for flutes, the ensemble's programmes have a unique balance of sound and style.
Examples of our playing can be found in the 'More' section of the website.
