Flautissimo the Southampton Flute Orchestra: a friendly and enthusiastic group of flautists of all ages that meets weekly during term time. The flute choir perform around five concerts a year in a variety of settings – from Winchester Cathedral's Christmas Market and carols at Hedge End to more formal concerts with other groups at the Turner Sims and Romsey Abbey. As well as local performances, the group regularly perform at the BFS International Conventions, and have recently toured Edinburgh, Cornwall, and Dublin. Currently the group is participating in the Adopt a Composer scheme.
If you enjoy playing the flute, learning about the flute or talking about the flute then Flautissimo is the place for you! New flautists are always wanted, anyone of Grade 5+ standard is warmly welcome to join Flautissimo. Anyone else should consider coming to Piccolissimo, our flute choir for less experienced flautists.
Those who love their flutes, but are unable to attend weekly rehearsals, come to flute weekends at Winchester Cathedral with leading performers, teachers and composers such as Ian Clarke, Clare Southworth and Paul Edmund-Davies.
