We are excited to share a new series of web-interviews featuring some of the great flutists of our time! Every few weeks we will be releasing a new Q&A video where a NJFS member asks some of your questions to our guest flutist!
Our goal is to provide insightful discussions with icons of the flute world, while giving back to groups and organizations. All funds raised from these events will be donated to a charity or organization of the artist's choice.
NJFS Members can attend FREE of charge. Non-members, please donate with a registration fee of:
-
$5 if paying via Venmo (@NJ-Flute-Society)

$6 if paying via Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/NJFluteSociety
