Exhibitor Showcase Concert
With so many advanced level and professional flutists in the Haynes team - we thought we would offer a Flute Choir performance as the grand finale to this year’s Exhibitor’s Concert.
And because we have the internationally renowned player-composer Gareth McLearnon in our team we performed a WORLD PREMIERE performance of a specially written flute choir work for Piccolo, Five Flutes and Two Alto Flutes! It was a huge hit!
