Vox Flutes 2004Vox Flutes, an Atlanta-based quartet, was formed in 1996. Playing other instruments from the flute family — piccolo, Eb, alto and bass flutes — in addition to the recognizable C flute offers them a wider range of sound and tone quality and provides a more enjoyable listening experience for the audience. Their broad repertoire includes familiar orchestral and operatic transcriptions and adaptations of string quartets, as well as more modern pieces, jazz and original works for flutes.

The ensemble is delighted to make use of a contrabass (shown at left), pitched an octave below the bass flute, two octaves below the standard flute. The warm gentle sound provides a rich depth not usually associated with flutes. Paul's beautiful instrument was made by Eva Kingma. (Visit contrabass.com to learn more about "big flutes.")

Vox Flutes has also performed at:

  • the annual Atlanta Symphony Associates' Decorators' Show House since 1999
  • a special all-Mozart program prior to "Amadeus" at the Georgia Shakespeare Festival
  • as part of the bi-annual "Symphony Celebration" in 2003 and 2005 at the Woodruff Arts Center (the 2007 event was postponed)
  • at the Alliance Children's Theater 2006 & 2007 Christmas Showhouse
  • for the Concerto membership group of the Atlanta Symphony Associates
  • at the "Hungry Ear Coffeehouse"
  • for the Roswell Fine Arts Alliance
  • at several local Borders and Barnes & Noble stores
  • for private weddings, fundraisers and other events

The group also presented an educational program for Cobb County students at Dickerson Middle School in the spring of 2004.
