The British Flute Society is Europe's oldest flute organisation and has a lot to offer its members. Flute, the society's journal, is recognised world-wide as a highly informative and entertaining flute journal. Every quarter Flute brings you articles on all aspects of the flute and flute playing. It is the authoritative guide to the latest flute news, listings of concerts, courses and reviews of new music, books and recordings.
