As of this season, I am an official member of the Raleigh Flute Choir! This is the parent group of the Raleigh Area Flute Association. A chamber ensemble made up of only flute players, this group is conductor-less and promotes the composition and arrangement of new music for flute ensembles. We play on everything from piccolo to contrabass, and, as it happens, I am taking up the mantle of the great Ann Cameron Pearce, who has just retired from the group this year, and becoming the new contrabass flute player!

This is the contrabass! It plays in the bass voice range, two octaves lower than the C flute, and is made up of about 9 feet of tube. Ours is made by Jupiter.
