Finger Lakes Flute Circle Meeting Wednesday 12 September 2018

The Finger Lakes Flute Circle will meet Wednesday, 12 September 2018, 6:30 pm, in the Conference Room at the Brookside School (Brighton Parks & Recreation), 1680 S Winton Rd, Rochester, NY 14618, entrance on Winton Rd, south of Westfall Rd, or on Google Maps: Brighton Recreation Senior Center. You may otherwise go to the official listed address, 220 Idlewood Rd, that will take you through neighborhood streets to the alternate entrance on the other side of the building.

Beginners are welcome! The Native American flute is very easy to learn to play. No prior experience is necessary. No written music required; we play the flute "from the heart." We will make beautiful music together.

Please join us! All comers of all experience levels are welcome. We hope to see you there!
