FLUTES FOR PEACE
About Us
Founded in 2016, Flutes for Peace was formed to unite flutists in an effort to promote peace. Since then we have played for many public and private events in the name of peace and for shut ins to bring them peace through our beautiful sounds. We perform light classical, jazzy tunes, standards and movie themes. We have a lovely Christmas program and concert program for our own peace concerts to promote peace through music.
Our core group players below, shown alphabetically, hail from New Jersey and perform with the Atlantic Pops, Bay Atlantic Symphony, Ocean City Pops and also perform in recitals as well as teach flute.
We are growing to promote platforms for peace. Our concert for the Ukraine on March 19th was very successful, and our newest endeavor is underway.
We are expanding to every state of the USA and beyond, internationally. If you have a flute choir, please contact Geri for more information!
