About Flute & Strings

Flute & Strings was founded in 1985 by Lenora Warkentin, who earned her Masters of Fine Arts degree from the University of California at Los Angeles. Lenora, a flutist, has performed professionally since her college days.

Every musician she selects for your occasion meets her high standards for performance and collaboration. Lenora has developed a close network of musicians that she draws from to create the perfect musical combination for each occasion.
