Testimonials

"Listening to Ayre Flutes was a real pleasure and I am convinced that we will hear more from them. Each in their own way sounded great, timing was perfect and a very challenging program. Very unique and different from others. Bravo! I feel honoured that they used my contrabass."

Eva Kingma, 2008

"During the British Flute Society Convention 2008 I had the opportunity to listen to a concert of the young flute ensemble Ayre Flutes, playing a repertoire of 21st century flute ensemble pieces.
I was really impressed by the high level of technical and musical abilities of all the group members. Not only could they handle every flute instrument like piccolo, alto, bass or sub-bass flutes in a very professional manner, easily changing between solo and tutti attitude, but the most impressive thing about their performance was a wonderful team spirit and an atmosphere of attentive communication amongst the players and towards the audience.
Ayre play a tempting repertoire and have a special charisma on stage. I can recommend them to any organizer of concerts or festivals."
