Desert Echoes Flute Project
The Desert Echoes Flute Project is an exciting and adventurous flute choir sponsored by the Mesa Community College Music Department.
The members are from the Phoenix Metropolitan area and include professionals, music educators, college students, and community musicians who all enjoy playing the flute. The members also perform in small chamber groups including the award winning sextet, trios, and quartets. After only one year together, DEF Project was selected to perform at the 2007 National Flute Association Convention. and they were invited back for 2010!
Their repertoire varies from newly composed works to arrangements of classics, Asian, Latin and American folk musics and have included bottles, head joints, boomwhackers, whistles, bassoon, and a harp in addition to flutes. They present concerts, enjoy rehearsing, and are also involved in community service performances.
