Parlor Concerts

Parlor Concerts provide a friendly and relaxed setting for performers and audience alike. Flutists find this to be the perfect venue to try out a new piece, have a dry run before a recital or competition, or simply enjoy the music and company of fellow flutists.

Choir Reading Session: The recitals often concludes with a brief flute choir reading session and social time.

Livestream: A livestream may be available to performers who wish to have their performances broadcast on the UMFA facebook page.

UMFA encourages the performance of music representative of BIPOC, LGBTQ+, women, and other marginalized populations.
