Flutar goes beyond the concert hall with an interest in synthesizing global consciousness and awareness for environmental responsibility, an appreciation for the music of diverse cultures and the potential for healing through sound. They are challenged by a deep commitment to integrate their social consciousness with their respective musical growth and discovery.
