“Recorders with Attitude!”

Brighton Early Music Festival


i Flautisti – The London Recorder Quartet – are making a name for themselves by challenging preconceptions of recorder playing and delivering inspirational repertoire with imagination and creativity.

The ensemble is bringing a fresh approach to the idea of a modern consort, combining the vision and diversity of C21st composers with exciting performances that encourage admiration for their instrument.
This year sees the launch of i Flautisti’s concert concept; to support the continuing creation and production of new music by premiering new works in each performance they give.  Collaborations with worldwide composers and the group’s enthusiasm to maintain these have already resulted in five World Premieres in the first half of 2010.  Linking this with the ensemble members’ eagerness to arrange existing works constantly encourages the growth of repertoire for recorder.


“Musically virtuosic and masterly, i Flautisti communicated with both adults and awe-struck children in a spirited and energetic way, and left everybody wanting more!”

Newbury Spring Festival


The group has appeared as Young Artists of the Newbury Spring and Bury St. Edmunds Festivals, showcasing two World Premieres at these.  Another venture for 2010 has been the inclusion of i Flautisti in the Festival Mitte Europa to promote German-Czech cultural interactions.  The event has been described as one that ‘melts borders melt away’ and i Flautisti are extremely enthusiastic about having developed their relations with Czech-born composer Jan Rokyta and performing these compositions and their own arrangements of exisiting German musical works in the festival.

i Flautisti have been broadcast live on BBC Radio 3’s ‘In Tune’ programme with Petroc Trelawney, and are to perform live on ‘The Early Music Show’ this October.  The ensemble is also excited to be staging ‘Rituals of the Seasons’, their first staged theatre piece, as part of their Young Artists concert for the Brighton Early Music Festival 2010 later in the year.  i Flautisti are also the featured ensemble in the Summer Issue of The Recorder Magazine.

In addition, i Flautisti have just been confirmed representation by Tanja Classical Music Agency in Prague, and by Culture Mediation International, a management agency that seeks to promote diverse and creative artists throughout Europe.

“This young ensemble is one to watch!”
