Frequently Asked Questions:

Yes!.  Click Here to register online!

What do the fees go to?  Is this a “for profit” event?

The Hampton Roads Flute Faire is non profit.  The event is presented by professional flutists in Hampton Roads, in partnership with the Governor’s School for the Arts, Christopher Newport University, and Old Dominion University.  The participating professional flutists are listed as our “Advisory Board.”  The event is a gift to the local community that encourages everyone to participate in music, and especially the art of playing the flute. 

The Advisor Board donates their time for the event.  Tasks such as registration, vendors registration, planning for accompanists, program design, logistical planning, etc. are divided among the Advisor Board members to make the event happen.

The money that is paid to the Hampton Roads Flute Faire offsets the expenses of the event (printing, Guest Artist expenses, websites, accompanists, etc.)  The goal is that the balance sheet = $0.00 for each year.  Fees are set in an attempt to achieve a zero balance sheet. 

Donations to the Flute Faire should be tax deductable.  (As always, consult with your tax professional.) 

Donations to the Flute Faire are always appreciated, and often make the difference in the bottom line of our balance sheet!!!
