Please join GPFS as we host our third flute ensemble event – a fun-filled opportunity to meet and play music with other flutists, try flutes and more. 

Both Canter Flute Repair and Flute Works Seattle - our event sponsors - will be attending this event. They will have flutes to try and purchase as well as evaluating and doing minor repairs on-site.
