The 14 Berlin Flutists gave their debut concert in the Chamber Music Hall of the Philharmonie Berlin in 1996. Entitled Unbounded Flute Fun, the evening featured flautists from the leading orchestras of the German capital: the Staatskapelle, the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester, the Deutsche und Komische Oper Berlin, the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester, and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.

Every member of the instrument family is featured in the ensemble, from the piccolo through the flute and alto flute to the subcontrabass flute. In 2016 the orchestra celebrated its 20th anniversary with an extensive concert, where they played their most successful pieces, which include arrangements of popular works and new compositions written specifically for the ensemble.
