Events
The flute’s beautiful sound creates a wonderful ambience for any occasion. The flute works for a range of venue sizes from intimate evenings to larger scale corporate events adding a particularly elegant touch.
The flute’s versatility is a valuable asset for the range of music available either on its own or as part of various ensembles.
Rachel plays regularly at events in many venues and hotels across London and the UK, including the Savoy, Hilton, Grosvenor, Dorchester and Kensington Palace.
Ensembles
If instrumental combinations other than the flute on its own are more suitable for your event then Rachel regularly performs at events in the following ensembles:
