The WVU Flute Studio presents the International Festival of Flutes, formerly the International Flute Symposium, each year. The Flute Studio also hosts a variety of other events throughout the year, including the Fall Flute Fling on November 10, 2024.
Located along the Monongahela River and nestled among the beautiful mountains of West Virginia, The International Festival of Flutes at West Virginia University offers the widest variety of performances, workshops, and masterclasses as well as the largest roster of world-renowned flutists and university professors from the orchestral, classical and jazz fields of any university flute symposium in the United States.
IFF is open to flutists of all abilities ages 12 through adult. IFS events include daily flute masterclasses, flute choirs, and gala concerts as well as body mapping and flute repair workshops, high school and young artist competitions, and private lessons.
IFF participants may participate as masterclass performers or auditors, take private lessons, perform with one of the IFS Flute Choirs, and compete in the annual IFF Competitions.
