Education and Outreach

Jackie Traish, Chair

The New York Flute Club sponsors a multifaceted program that includes students of all ages and levels who study flute in the greater New York City area. We have developed relationships with schools, teachers, and music outreach programs. Special events have included pre-concert workshops and demonstrations, opportunities for students to meet the performers, and career development seminars. In addition, we offer scholarships for recommended students to attend the annual flute fair free of charge.

If you’re interested in contributing program suggestions or your time, please contact Jackie Traish, our education chair.

Information about education/outreach events in past seasons may be found here.

We thank the Friends of Flutes Foundation, lifetime NYFC member Ardith Bondi, and other anonymous donors for their generous contributions to our education programs. If you would like to support our ongoing education efforts, click here.

Mastery class schedule for 2024-25

Inspired by the 2024 Flute Fair Guest Artist Marianne Gedigian, the New York Flute Club follows her lead and will now refer to masterclasses as mastery classes. This change in naming not only places the focus of the class on the performers striving to master their art but also removes any negative connotations the word "master" implies.

Please contact NYFC mastery class coordinator Jeff Mitchell for information about how to participate.
A 5:30 pm concert will follow the mastery class in the same venue.

NS = The New School/Mannes: Arnhold Hall, 55 West 13th Street, Stiefel Hall 4th Floor, Room I400

 *Karl-Keinz Schütz's concert will occur on Sunday, March 2, 2025 (5:30 pm) at NS.
