The Upper Midwest Flute Association, Inc. sponsors a series of informal member recitals throughout the year. Modeled after Nineteenth-century Schubertiads, where Franz Schubert and his friends performed for each other in their homes, the Parlor Concert Series provides a friendly and relaxed setting for performers and audiences alike. Concerts are held across the UMFA membership area in member’s homes; Parlor Concerts are the perfect venue try out a new piece or have a dry run before a recital or jury.
UMFA provides an accompanist or you may bring your own. Rehearsal with the pianist begins at 1:00 pm. performers may also play works for solo flute, duets or other ensembles.
Audience members are invited to bring their flutes, piccolos and altos (and music stands) and join in a flute choir reading session following the performance.
If you are interested in playing or would like more information please contact Vanamali Medina at umfa.parlor.concerts@gmail.com. If you plan on attending as an audience member, please RSVP or register to maintain an accurate head count for the host. Upon registration, you will receive a confirmation email with the street address.
