About Us
Underground Flute Operative (UFO) is based in Cortland/Homer, NY, but sometimes also includes players from the Syracuse and/or Ithaca areas.
The group, consisting of a revolving troupe of experienced flute players from the CNY area, came into existence during COVID, when the players were getting a little "stir crazy" and decided that they needed some "music therapy" time in their lives when many other groups they were in were not meeting.
Since one of the members works as a nurse, she volunteered to host rehearsals at her home, and made sure everyone gathered as safely as possible.
UFO is reasonably-priced, and would LOVE to play some music for you and/or your organization at your next event!
