Welcome to the home page of the Tempest Flute Ensemble, Western Canada’s premiere flute ensemble, dedicated to the promotion and performance of the music of our time. In recent history, the “flute choir” has been a much-maligned ensemble, despite a rich history that dates back to the Renaissance. The Tempest Flute Ensemble is dedicated to revitalizing the genre with the commissioning of new works by Canadian and international composers and performances full of virtuosity and verve! To learn more about the ensemble — our personnel, our vision, as well as videos of past events — please click the links above. This page will be updated regularly with news about upcoming events, photos, soundclips, as well as articles relating to flute playing and flute ensemble. Enjoy your visit!
