“One of the highlights for me of the 2016 NFA Convention was the opportunity to hear the Pacific Flute Ensemble, conducted by Darrin Thaves. The performance was gorgeous. Intonation, phrasing, musicality, programming, everything about the concert was top flight. A true pleasure to experience! This is an ensemble to inspire flutists and flute choirs everywhere! …Sharyn Byer, Director, Columbia Flute Choir<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Since hearing the wonderfully vibrant performances of my Sonata for 8 Flutes by the Pacific Flute Ensemble with their brilliant conductor Darrin Thaves, I am most excited to hear that the group is to perform my Symphony No. 5 in the spring, and can’t wait to hear their interpretation”…Andrew Downes, composer<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Pacific Flute Ensemble, one of just a few flute choirs chosen to perform at the recent National Flute Association convention in Anaheim,\u00a0played a fabulous concert on August 13th.\u00a0 Their program was varied, showcasing their ability to seamlessly move from one style of music to another. Under Darrin\u2019s expert leadership, the group radiated professionalism in their stage presence, intonation, interpretation and overall musicianship.\u00a0 Last but not least, they really connected with the audience and communicated all the moods of the program on a deeply meaningful level.\u00a0 Bravo!\u201d\u2028\u2026Deborah J. Anderson, composer<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations to the Pacific Flute Ensemble for an outstanding performance at the 2010 National Flute Association Convention!\u00a0 It is very inspiring to see and hear such a fine ensemble with both student and adult members.\u00a0 Your program was a perfect blend of standards with newer additions to our repertoire that highlighted the choir\u2019s excellent technical ability and precision, balance, intonation and musical interpretation.\u201d\u2028\u2026Kelly Via, National Flute Association Flute Choir Coordinator\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
