About

The European Flute Council (EFC) was formed in 2015 to encourage and develop sustainable and strategically important projects across Europe through co-operation between European flute associations. Such projects would be particularly focused on educational and artistic development. The EFC board consists of 6 elected members from different European countries, who act according to the EFC constitution and the mandate given to them by the annual EFC conference. 

Meet the board

The Board of the European Flute Council (EFC) is dedicated to uniting and connecting flute players, associations, schools, and universities across Europe. Our mission is to foster collaboration and strengthen the bonds between various communities involved in the world of the flute. By working closely with national and local associations, educational institutions, and individual musicians, the EFC aims to create a network that supports the growth and development of flute playing in all its forms.

MEMBERS

The European Flute Council (EFC) is proud to welcome a diverse range of members, including both collective and individual members. Our collective members comprise national associations and local organizations, all of which share a common passion for the art of flute playing and music education. These associations work at various levels to promote and support the flute community across Europe.
