  Flauto Dolce ist ein Blockflötenensemble, welches sich im Jahr 1999 im Rahmen des Gruppenunterrichtes für Erwachsene mit fünf Mitgliedern an der Musikschule Fallersleben gründete. Nach der Aufnahme in die Musikschule der Stadt Wolfsburg folgten unter der Leitung von Katrin Heidenreich zahlreiche Auftritte bei Musikschulkonzerten sowie Blockflötenkonzerte in der St.-Ludgeri-Kirche in Ehmen, in der St.-Marien-Kirche, in der Pauluskirche, in der St.-Annen-Kirche sowie in Hehlingen. Besondere Highlights waren das gemeinsame Konzert mit der Renaissancetanzgruppe Newcastle und der Auftritt bei der Landesgartenschau in Wolfsburg. Auch im letzten Jahr erfreute das Ensemble die Bewohner des Hospizes mit weihnachtlicher Musik und folgt damit einer langjährigen Tradition. Mit dem Konzert "Im Wandel der Zeiten" begeisterten die Blockflötistinnen 2026 das Publikum in der Christuskirche. Zurzeit besteht das Ensemble aus zwölf Mitgliedern.
