About the Flute Choir
The Fort Washington Flute Choir was originally formed in 2010 with adult flute students from Lois Herbine's studio. In the last four years it has expanded to include the piccolo, alto flute and bass flute. The name reflects the exit of the Pennsylvania Turnpike some of the members take to get to rehearsals. The choir’s focus is to improve and perform while having fun.
Low flutes and flutes, Barnes and Noble Concert, 2017
While the members of the choir are all adult amateurs, as members of Lois Herbine’s flute studio, they are learning to play together like professionals. A benefit to the lessons is coaching on recorded submissions. A happy result of this process is the Fort Washington Flute Choir’s selection as the finale for the "World's Largest Flute Choir Showcase" for the Mid-Atlantic flute convention, February 20-21, 2021.
