King's Flute Choir Presents: Flutes in the Forest

About the programmeThe flute has been associated with birds for about 6,767 years now - a bird call, a song, a tweet and a toot. However, we at King's Flute Choir are convinced that our favorite instrument is more than a cheep or two - think fidgety, caressing, introspective and grandeur!Through the four seasons, Flutes in the Forest takes you from a solo monologue to a woodland chorale, rounding the year up with a 30-piece flute ensemble, showcasing the different personalities not only of the chirpy avian, but also of the different organisms of the mysterious night forest.A.
