The New York Flute Club
Welcome
Founded in 1920 by eminent flutist Georges Barrère, composer Lamar Stringfield, and a group of their associates, The New York Flute Club is the oldest such organization in the United States.
Barrère's idea in starting the Club was to provide a common meeting ground for professional, student, and amateur; a place where less experienced players could hear new and unusual music for the flute as well as the classic repertory played by fine artists; a place where all might find performance opportunities helpful to the development of their own talents.
Today, the Club sponsors
- a professional concert series,
- the New York Flute Fair
- an ensemble program,
- the New York Flute Club Competition,
- a young musicians contest,
- an education and enrichment program,
- commissions of new music for flute, and
- a variety of publications and recordings.
We welcome your comments, questions, and suggestions about the Club or this website. Please contact us.
