Eleventh Annual University of Virginia Flute Forum
Spend a day exploring the artistry, technique, and limitless possibilities of the flute at the Eleventh Annual University of Virginia Flute Forum on Saturday, October 17, 2026.
Hosted by the University of Virginia Department of Music, the UVA Flute Forum is a day-long celebration of flute performance and education, bringing together students, educators, amateur flutists, and music enthusiasts for an inspiring series of masterclasses, interactive workshops, and performances. Whether you're an experienced performer or simply enjoy listening to exceptional music, the Forum offers opportunities to learn, connect, and be inspired.
This year's featured guest artist is internationally acclaimed flutist Alexa Still, whose artistry and distinguished career have inspired audiences and students around the world. Still will present the Forum's featured recital at 3:30 p.m. in Old Cabell Hall, joined by additional guest artists throughout the day's events.
One of today's leading flutists, Alexa Still has performed as a soloist and chamber musician throughout the world and is internationally recognized for her artistry, teaching, and recordings.
Participants are encouraged to bring their flutes and take part in the community flute choir, culminating in a collaborative performance during the Gala Recital—a favorite tradition that welcomes flutists of all ages and experience levels.
This event is supported by the Office of the Provost and the Vice Provost for the Arts through the Arts Enhancement Initiative.
All Forum events are free and open to the public.
