The National Flute Association (NFA) is gearing up for its 52nd Annual Convention, set to take place from August 1-4, 2024, at the Henry B. González Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas. This event is the largest annual flute gathering in the world, attracting over 3,000 attendees and featuring more than 80 exhibitors.
The theme for the 2024 convention is “Flauta Mundi: Global Voices of the Flute,” celebrating the diverse and global nature of the flute. The convention will focus on three distinct themes: Cultural Diversity, The Arts, and Nature. These themes will be explored through a variety of performances, workshops, and masterclasses, highlighting the flute’s rich history and its connection to different cultures and art forms.
Attendees can look forward to a packed schedule filled with hundreds of events, including world premiere performances, competitions, and panel discussions. The convention provides a unique opportunity for flutists of all levels to learn from renowned artists, discover new music, and connect with fellow musicians from around the globe.
In addition to the educational and performance aspects, the convention will also feature an extensive exhibit hall where attendees can explore the latest in flute technology, sheet music, and accessories. This is an excellent opportunity for flutists to try out new instruments and products, and to meet with manufacturers and retailers.
