Flute Cocktail

Flute Cocktail evolved from the flute players of Blowzone (Tavistock wind band) towards the beginning of 2000 and comprises flute players from the Tavistock area and beyond. We meet fortnightly to rehearse, learn and most of all enjoy the experience of ensemble playing. Several concerts each season are enjoyed by growing audiences who appreciate the variety of music offered. We have been privileged to share in concerts with other local organisations and maintain a policy of making donations from our concerts to the churches in which we perform. We also support Children’s Hospice Southwest and MacMillan Cancer Relief.

We rehearse fortnightly on Thursday Evenings at The Stables, Whitchurch, Nr Tavistock, Devon.

The world of flutes is fortunate to have a strong tradition of ensemble playing in addition to its popularity as a solo, orchestral and wind band instrument. There exists a wealth of music for the flourishing flute choir, encompassing arrangements of well-known music by composers from Bach to Joplin and extending to pieces composed specifically for the genre. A visit to any of the numerous flute conventions that take place each year across the world will always be an enlightening, if slightly daunting experience.
