The Underground Flute Operative (UFO) – Providing Flute Music for Any Occasion
Posted by Dustin Horton // January 22, 2023 // Arts & Live Music, News
UFO, from Cortland, NY, is a serious (but fun!) cohort of local flute players that enjoy playing the classics, while also adding in a variety of contemporary pieces. The group has been playing together for many years in other groups such as Cortland Old Timers Band, the CNY (Syracuse) Flute Choir, and Trio Presto flute trio. The rotating troupe of players in the group include Barbara Bridgers, Alex Cottrell, Jane Hunter, Terry Mingle, Jeanine Rose, Kaitlyn Rude, and Colleen Thomas. All have been playing the flute for decades, and enjoy performing in their “spare” time. They incorporate into their performances a variety of woodwind instruments in the flute family, including piccolo, C flute, Alto flute, and Bass flute. If you’d like to book the group, learn more about them, or see where they might be playing next, please visit them online at: tmingle08.wixsite.com/ufocortland for more information. You can also look them up on Facebook: facebook.com/UndergroundFluteOperative/ — they are reasonably-priced, and are available for casual events, special occasions and private parties. They would love to hear from you!
