The Los Angeles Flute Orchestra (LAFO) is an 8-12 member professional ensemble comprised of Los Angeles based flutists. The LAFO’s style covers the full spectrum from baroque and classical to jazz, contemporary and ethnic genres. What makes the LAFO special is its extremely versatile instrumentation. The group features the entire flute family-Piccolo, C Flute, Alto and Bass Flutes, the unique Contra-Bass Flute, the rare Sub-Contra Bass and F-Bass Flutes and various ethnic flutes. As a result, the group achieves a highly resonant, dense and complex sound. Unprecedented sound capabilities coupled with the group’s exceptional musicianship have attracted the interest of many composers and orchestrators from around the world who have contributed to the LAFO’s exclusive repertoire. The group is dedicated to the performance of original works, and continues to pursue one-of-a-kind dynamic pieces.
