Calla Flutes:

Leila Marshall, Angel Parejafrancisco

Anna Murphy, Lily Vernon-Purves

Calla Flutes are a vibrant flute quartet made up of students from the RNCM. They made a strong impression since forming, giving a fantastic performance at the annual chamber music competition last year for which they were highly commended. They went on to represent the school in a public spotlight concert, commissioning a new piece with electronics. They are dedicated to great music making through the combination of four flutes - and have delighted audiences in and around Manchester. Individually the Calla flutes are very fine flute players, having numerous personal accolades and having played in top venues across the UK and Europe.
