The Flute Ensemble rehearses and performs repertoire from the 18th to the 20th centuries, both as a large ensemble of between fifteen and twenty flautists and as smaller flute chamber groups. The group often uses less common members of the flute family—such as E flat flute and bass flute—as well as the orchestral piccolo and alto flute.
