Our programs
During CAFE Concerts, expect...
• active engagement with audience members by asking questions, inviting comments, and
encouraging singing, foot tapping, humming, and clapping
• friendly, clear introductions to each piece along with interesting trivia about the music and composers
• interesting arrangements of familiar melodies along with a few new pieces to appreciate.
• introductions to each instrument as it gets a chance to shine
• celebration of birthdays of audience members
• opportunities to see the gigantic contrabass flute up close and talk to performers after the
final applause has faded
We tailor our programs to our audience. Our most popular program, CAFE Blend, includes seasonal favorites mixed with patriotic and folk song medleys, golden oldies, whimsical pieces, jazz standards, and familiar classical melodies. We can also customize a
concert around a special community event!
NEW! "Fascinating Flutes” lecture/demonstration
Two CAFE members will present an interactive, educational demonstration about the flute family and flute culture. Participants will see and hear all five members of the silver flute family as well as flutes constructed from clay, plastic, bone, and bamboo. Myths, history, and local stories will be covered in this memorable Powerpoint presentation. Packaged with a CAFE concert, audiences will also enjoy an educational preview of the upcoming CAFE program. "Fascinating Flutes" is perfect for a community gathering, lifelong learning class, or lecture series.
