The Flute Ensemble is dedicated to rehearsing and performing a broad range of ensemble repertoire, from duos and trios to full-scale flute choir ensemble music. The course is also dedicated to giving flute music majors a chance to discuss and collaborate on all things flute-related, including (but not limited to) recital-hour type masterclass performances. The course is required of flute majors, and is available for non-flute majors by audition. Contact Dr. Loewy at loewy@rowan.edu for audition details.
