Being held in the province on September 13, the musical extravaganza has real potential to be the World’s biggest event for flautists.

Participants will perform together in the Kings Hall Complex in an official attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the Largest Flute Ensemble. The current world record is held in Japan and was achieved by 3,742 flautists in 2011.

Incorporated in the record attempt is ‘Flutes up for Charity’, helping to raise money for three very worthwhile charities. Registration is now open with the official launch on Saturday, July 5.
