Woodbridge Flute Choir Details
The Woodbridge Flute Choir, currently directed by Debbie Gilbert and assisted by Lisa Sheldone, was founded in 1996 by Rebecca Jeffreys as an outlet and learning experience for volunteer adult flutists. In the past ten years, the choir has progressed from a modest background music group to a serious performance ensemble.Since its inception, the WFC has performed at regular concert series, charitable and gala events, Flute Society of Washington events, flute choir festivals, the National Flute Association convention, the Kennedy Center, and the White House.The group has also produced three commercial CDs, Woodbridge Suite, Passages, and A Silver Christmas, each featuring music written specifically for the ensemble.As part of its mission to educate its members and the Washington area flute community, the Choir has sponsored master-classes and performed with internationally acclaimed flutists Per Oien, John Barcellona, Tadeu Coelho, Chris Potter, Alexa Still, Thomas Robertello and most recently with piccolo soloist Nan Raphael.In recognition of the need for new music written specifically for flute choir, the WFC has commissioned and presented world premieres of original works by Gretchen Morse, Nancy Wood, Lee Larsen, Mel Lauf, and Jonathon Cohen. In the autumn of 2006 the Choir will celebrate its tenth anniversary with the premiere of a new commissioned work from Alexandra Baldwin.The Woodbridge Flute Choir is one of the largest and most successful ensembles of its kind in Northern Virginia. Its unique focus on educating the adult flutist has made it a much desired ensemble for area musicians and has resulted in a waiting list for membership.
