Welcome to the New York Flute Club

Jenny Cline
President, NYFC

Dear friends,

At the Club's annual meeting on May 15, 2022, a new slate of officers and directors was elected for the 2022-23 season. I am honored to be serving as the Club's president and look forward to working with my fellow board members to bring you programming designed for an ever-widening audience with diverse interests and backgrounds. 

Our fall season will open on Sunday, September 18, 2022 with a concert by Paolo Taballione, principal flute, Bavarian State Opera, Munich. Our Sunday concert series will also include Alison Fierst, Ebonee Thomas, the Borealis Wind Quintet (with flutist Keith Bonner), and the flutists of the American Ballet Theatre. 

The details of the coming season will be finalized over the summer and posted on this page when available. We plan to continue our "I Just Wanna Play" series as a mix of online and in-person events with opportunities for audience participation, and look forward to resuming the in-person component of our Ensemble Program. 

Missed an earlier event or want to see it again? Videos of most of the Club's events can be found on the Club's YouTube channel. Scroll left or right, or click on the "Videos" tab if you don't immediately see the one you want. Happy viewing!

And if you haven't already renewed your membership for the coming season, there's no need to wait for the late summer reminder from us. You can join or renew online or print and mail the membership form at any time. 

Have a good summer!

Jenny Cline
NYFC President
