Orchestral Playing Workshop

Discover the art of orchestral flute playing in this inspiring workshop with the Principal Flute of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra.

Explore orchestral excerpts, ensemble skills and the role of the flute within an orchestra, while gaining practical insights from one of South Australia’s leading professional flautists. This workshop is a wonderful opportunity to develop your playing and learn more about performing in an orchestral setting.

Come and Play Afternoon

Stay on after the workshop—or join us just for the afternoon—for some relaxed and rewarding flute ensemble playing!

Open to flautists of all ages and skill levels, our Come and Play Afternoon is an opportunity to make music with others, meet fellow flute players and share the joy of playing in a friendly, supportive environment.

Bring your flute and join us for a fun afternoon of music-making!

Artist Biography - Kim Falconer

One of Australia’s leading flautists, Kim Falconer, was appointed to the position of Section Principal Flute of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra in 2024. 

Born in Melbourne, Kim completed her Bachelor of Music degree with first-class honours at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music under the tutelage of Derek Jones. She then went on to further study for two years at the Australian National Academy of Music (Professional Performance Program), where she studied with Virginia Taylor. In 2017, Kim moved to Sydney to undertake the Sydney Symphony Orchestra Fellowship. 

While living in Sydney, Kim held contracts as Guest Principal Flute with the Opera Australia Orchestra and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. She also performed regularly with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra as Guest Principal Flute, having previously been on contract as Associate Principal Piccolo.

Kim holds her Licentiate Diploma with Distinction, for which she was awarded the Leslie Barklamb Flute Award. In 2015, Kim won First Prize in the Australian Flute Festival Open Competition and was also awarded the prize for Best Performance of the Set Work – Paul Dean’s Falling Ever Deeper.

 In 2018, Kim embarked on an intensive study trip to England, Scotland and Ireland. On this trip, she studied privately with Michael Cox, and was a Concert Performer at the William Bennett International Summer School and the Scottish International Flute Summer School. 

Later this year, Kim will perform at the Australian Flute Festival as a Featured Artist. 

Aside from the flute, Kim has earned her Deep Water 40m Certification in scuba diving, and also enjoys Latin dancing and art.
