2025 Great Southwest Flute Fest

We are thrilled to host the 2025 Great Southwest Flute Fest on the University of Arizona Campus! The festival will feature international soloist and Yamaha Performing Artist, Mary Karen Clardy. Dr. Clardy will premiere a new concerto with the U of A Wind Ensemble, perform a solo recital, and teach a masterclass of performers of all levels.

The Flute Performance Studio and Brian Luce invite you to join us for concerts, masterclasses, and much more! Experience the music industry as a flute performer by performing alongside Flutefinity in a recording session and in live concert. Create cutting-edge Virtual Reality media guided by U of A students.

If you are a high school student, you are invited to compete in the 2025 High School Soloist Competition. See the competition rules below.

We look forward to hosting you on the U of A campus for all things flute related!
