Central Oregon Flute Ensemble

COFE, the Central Oregon Flute Ensemble, was created in May of 2024 by Lisa Hakesley, Sue Steiger, and Ryan Zwahlen. We welcome all players, regardless of ability or background. No auditions are required to join. Our rehearsals are all about having fun and learning!

Sue and Ryan share directorial duties, while Lisa is the music librarian and administrator. All three are active in many ensembles in Central Oregon, including the Central Oregon Symphony, the Cascade Winds, the Bend Pops Orchestra, and numerous small ensembles. Sue and Ryan have extensive experience in music education and private flute instruction.
