COFE, the Central Oregon Flute Ensemble, was created in May of 2024 by Lisa Hakesley, Sue Steiger, and Ryan Zwahlen. We welcome all players, regardless of ability or background. No auditions are required to join. Our rehearsals are all about having fun and learning!
Sue and Ryan share directorial duties, while Lisa is the music librarian and administrator. All three are active in many ensembles in Central Oregon, including the Central Oregon Symphony, the Cascade Winds, the Bend Pops Orchestra, and numerous small ensembles. Sue and Ryan have extensive experience in music education and private flute instruction.

Calendar
Our next performance will be with the Bend Pops Orchestra at their March 16 concert, Pops Goes to the Movies! The concert will be at 2:00PM at the Mountain View HS Auditorium. Lisa will be in touch regarding music, but we are planning this fantastic piece:
Gareth McLearnon - So Many Themes, So Little Time
This is going to be a tricky one, with a transition roughly every 8 measures. It is an absolute must that you prepare the music before we start rehearsals. If you’re not comfortable with the complexity of the piece it’s not mandatory to take part in this concert, by any means!
We will likely add another piece as well.
Like the CHB concert, we plan a short rehearsal cycle on this one, with around 3 regular rehearsals and a dress.
