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.
