What we’re about
The Finger Lakes Flute Circle is a gathering of people in Western New York interested in the Native American flute, to share talents and experiences through a supportive musical and educational exchange. A flute circle can be helpful on many levels, enriching those who are exploring or growing an interest in the Native American flute, nourishing beginner Native flute players searching for support, and empowering experienced players to reach higher levels of skill and enjoyment. The Native American flute is a wonderful instrument in its accessibility to beginners to quickly and readily make pleasant songs regardless of prior musical experience, and a powerful musical tool for musical and emotional expression and improvisation. Meetings are most second Wednesday of each month, and beginners are welcome and encouraged. We play Native American flutes, drums, and hand percussion, and play great music together. Beginner flutes are available to try out. We look forward to seeing you!

- 2026 World Flute Society ConventionHaas Fine Arts Center, Eau Claire, WI
https://www.worldflutesociety.org/convention-2026
The 2026 World Flute Society convention will be held on the beautiful campus of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire! The summers are picturesque in Eau Claire, a small city whose residents are enthusiastic in their support of the cultural arts. The city of Eau Claire, and particularly its university, encourages all forms of creativity and self-expression, an approach that is displayed both readily and proudly. The beauty of nature is resplendent in Eau Claire, especially on the university campus where there are bike paths, scenic walking trails, and a river that runs directly by the Haas Fine Arts Center where all convention activities are held.
Come join us for an amazing musical and cultural journey of inspiration and richly diverse music!
