Events :: PITTSBURGH FLUTE CLUB ::

The Goldberg Master Class

PFC at the NFA convention in Pittsburgh

The Pittsburgh Flute Club follows a calendar year for membership and incorporates the following annual events:

1) Flute Choir Festival Day
First or Second Saturday of February (Starting 2012)

This is a chance for local flute choirs to come together in order to perform, learn and collaborate! The festivities collimate with a combined flute orchestra performance.

2) Young Artist Competition (Annual) + Flute Adjudication Festival (2012, 2014, etc) or Super Flute Adjudication (2011, 2013, etc.)
(Late March/Early April)

The annual Young Artist Competition selects 3 collegiate age flutists to complete for cash prizes as based on a recorded audition.

The bi-annual flute adjudication festival invites all members of the PFC to perform repertoire of their choosing (4 minutes) for a panel of 2-3 judges in order to receive comment sheets regarding their playing. This is a great opportunity to grow as a flutist and gain input from local Pittsburgh teachers, PSO members and/or collegiate faculty members.

The bi-annual super flute adjudication festival invites members of the PFC aged from 10-18 years old to submit a recording in order to be considered for participation in advanced adjudication with prominent flutists. The selected performers will be given a maximum of 6 minutes to perform music of their choosing.

3) Pittsburgh Flute Club Summer Flute Choir
June-August w/ rehearsals held at the Flute Academy in Oakland

During the summer months, members of the Pittsburgh Flute Club are invited to join the Pittsburgh Flute Club Flute Choir. Challenging repertoire is explored as unique performance opportunities often present themselves.
