About Us:

The George B. Tack Memorial Flute Committee is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.  Each year the Committee organizes the Tack FluteFest in the Fall, which features masterclasses, flute choirs, a flute recital, and exhibits by local music stores.  

In the Spring we sponsor annual flute competitions for local middle and high school flutists.  In memory of George B. Tack the Committee also annually loans professional-quality Haynes flutes to deserving young flutists who need a better flute and cannot afford one.


If you are interested in supporting local flutists by donating to our organization please contact us today. Online donations can be completed here. All proceeds to directly to event costs and flute maintenance. Every committee member donates 100% of their time to this organization.
