Unfortunately, so far 2021 hasn’t turned out to be much better than 2020 but it hasn’t stopped CAFE Flutes!
We still haven’t been able to meet up in person to rehearse together yet but we continue to meet online and have even gained a new member.
In 2020, we did some digital projects to keep us all engaged. It definitely tested our technical skills as well as our musical ability but we were all pleased with the results. So much so, that after our Summer concert, we did it all again at Christmas!
We’re currently working on a Welsh Medley that has been arranged especially for us by one of our members. We’re really hoping that we might be able to play it in the same room as each other in the not too distant future.
We’ve also recently been awarded some funding via Tŷ Cerdd to enable us to carry on improving our technical skills through online workshops run by our MD, Kristina Lennox. If you’d like to come along and join CAFE Flutes at our next online meeting, you can email the address in the poster below.
Cafe flutes are proud to invite you to join our first ever Virtual Summer Concert! Although we are unable to meet at present our members have still been playing and practising, and we have brought their performances together to produce a Virtual Concert. The concert will be streamed live on Youtube on 12th September 2020 at 7.15pm, we hope you will be able to join us to watch!
You can join us live at https://youtu.be/KAXYj0qdzcY
The concert includes performances from our members and some of their families too, with music from Mozart to the movies and musicals, there is something for everyone.
Please join us and watch live, invite your family and friends too.
