After returning from a tour of the Baltic States with the International Flute Orchestra, Judy Moore was inspired to form a flute choir in State College, PA. Toot-in-Common is the result.
Flute players from central Pennsylvania meet weekly in preparation for concerts. Our literature consists of popular and classical favorites arranged for flute choir and works written especially for flute choir. Instrumentation includes up to 4 piccolos, 16 C flutes, 3 alto flutes, 3 bass flute, and 1 contrabass flute.
Toot-in-Common has performed at State College First Night, at The People’s Choice Festival, State College Rotary, St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in State College, Trinity Lutheran Church in State College, and Bellefonte’s Victorian Christmas.
