Project Title
Blackledgemusic, Inc.’s mission is to present interesting chamber music performances in a variety of venues to educate and inspire a diverse audience. Blackledgemusic,Inc wishes to engage its audiences by presenting programs which differ from what audience members might consider 'concert hall' programs. We do this by using unusual combinations of instruments, or works of music which might normally not be heard outside a music school recital studio or major city concert venue. The concept was previewed in a recital financed by Helene Rosenblatt and presented as “Flute & Co.” in November of 2000 at the New Britain Museum of American Art. Blackledgemusic, Inc. and its consortium members (we now act as 501C fiscal agent for several ensembles which perform sporatically in Connecticut (Rosewood Chamber Ensemble, Charter Oak Flutes and various BLACKLEDGE ensembles). Blackledgemusic,Inc. has been incorporated as a consortium of ensembles since 2002.
Our newest consortium member, Connecticut Flute Orchestra , began as an idea in 2016 to create a unique high level performing organization formed of professional-caliber flutists from all over Connecticut. Musicians with similar musical tastes, a desire for musical adventure, people who are kind and supportive of each other. These musicians began to collaborate to create musical experiences which inspire. CTFO utilizes approximately 14-20 flutists for its concerts. The instrumentation includes piccolo, Eb flute, C flute, alto flute, bass flute, contrabass flute, and subcontra bass flute. The 1st annual concert was held 9/16/2017, the 2nd which featured a student composers work and works by Connecticut composers for Flute Orchestra was held 9/16/2018 and the 3rd 9/8/2019 and was focused around celebrating differences.
