Flute Fair 2021: A Virtual Toolbox INFO PROGRAM BOOK

Nancy Toff
President, NYFC
Dear friends,
The New York Flute Club celebrates spring with our annual flute fair—this year, with the aptly named Virtual Toolbox. Julien Beaudiment, principal flutist of the Lyon (France) Opera and former principal flutist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, will be our guest artist, and a diverse group of flutists from around the United States will present lectures, workshops, masterclasses, and performances that will enlighten us all.
We will hear concerts by the winners of our annual New York Flute Club Competition, as well as the next generation after that, the winners of the Young Musicians Contest. You’ll also be able to shop in our virtual industry exhibits.
Admission is free to NYFC members, and only $25 for non-member adults, $15 for non-member students, seniors, and COVID hardship registration. Admission covers both days. Everyone must register to obtain login credentials.
See you at the fair!
Nancy Toff
President
