Long Island Flute Club, Neighbor
- Sachem, NY
- Website
A member club of the National Flute Association, the Long
Island Flute Club was founded in 1984 to enrich the musical
lives of flutists in the greater New York area.
Serving professional and student flutists, the club offers a
diverse calendar of events each season. The acclaimed LIFC
concert series has become an integral part of the Long Island
arts scene, attracting an audience of flutists and the general
public.
The diverse programs for students offer the opportunity for
both musical growth and community involvement. Our Flute
Festival, currently in its 19th year, provides an enjoyable day of
performing masterclasses and workshops for all levels of
players. The annual LIFC Holiday Flute Ensemble Concert
benefits a selected charity and is always well-received by the
holiday audiences. The LIFC Professional Flute Choir and
Student Honors Flute Choir perform in the first recital each
season.
Competitions are sponsored for more advanced flutists. Our
High School competition, started in 1985, has been a stepping
stone for many pursuing successful musical careers. Beginning
in 2008, the LIFC will add a college division to the competition.
The LIFC, with support from the Brannen-Cooper Fund, has
hosted several Master Class competition and concert weekends.
Selected flutists gain invaluable performance insight from
internationally renowned professionals. To date, we have
presented Masterclass/Concert programs featuring Susan
Milan, Michel Debost and Donald Peck.
Our newsletter, Flute Notes, informs members of upcoming
events.
