Welcome! Flutists Tina Signorelli and Kate Stanko established the MANTRA Flute Duo in the Fall of 2005. Both shared a similar desire to entertain listeners with high quality classical music. Their relaxing and easy-to-listen-to repertoire is the perfect way to set the stage for your special event - be it your wedding day, a holiday party, or any occasion that you need to add that "something extra."
MANTRA has performed at many functions local to the Rochester, NY area and would be happy to play at your next event!
