Texas Flute Society

A nonprofit organization

The Texas Flute Society has been serving flutists, their families, and friends in north central Texas for over 30 years. Initially formed as a club of flute teachers working together to provide activities for their students around the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, the Texas Flute Society is now nationally known as an outstanding regional flute organization that puts on an annual festival that is larger in size and scope than any other regional flute event in the U.S.

In addition to the annual festival, the Texas Flute Society also sponsors between three and six other events throughout the year. Some are clinics directed towards one level or age-group (e.g., advanced high school students), while others are concerts or master classes that have wide appeal to flutists of all ages and skill levels. The Texas Flute Society publishes several newsletters throughout the year with informative articles and maintains a website that helps keep the members and area flutists informed.

Our Needs

All funds received will go towards workshops and the 2022 TFS Flute Festival

Mission

The Texas Flute Society is organized for the purpose and objectives as follows: to further the activities and education of flutists in North Central Texas, to sponsor concerts, workshops, clinics, masterclasses, and festivals at which members and guest artists can perform and disseminate information, and to direct our efforts toward cultural and educational values in and for the general community, striving for activities with a public interest wider than that of members and contributors.

The Texas Flute Society is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes.

Equity Statement

The Texas Flute Society is an organization structured with the purpose of furthering the activities and education of flutists in North Central Texas. We are committed to equitable diversity and inclusion of the flute community and thrive to celebrate the visible and invisible qualities of the rich cultural and distinct contributions from our flute community.

Achievement of diversity and inclusion involves a broad representation of our flute community, including race, color, nationality, ethnicity and cultural background, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, age, socio-economic status, disabilities, education, global geography, religion, as well as other factors that shape creative perspective and professional experience.

We understand that achieving equity is a continuous process, and we seek to maintain the highest standards of ethics, transparency, and accountability.

Therefore the Texas Flute Society pledges to:

Celebrate diversity and inclusion in our programming

Foster open and constructive discussions amongst all members and the flute community as a whole

Promote cultural and professional musical diversity and inclusion within our board and membership

Communicate and share content respectfully and with inclusive representation
