19th International Adams Flute Festival

For 3 days we immerse ourselves again in an international group of flute players, amateurs, students and professionals, to gain new experiences, to exchange ideas, to get lessons, to play along, to test, to catch up, to listen to concerts and the flute competition, in short: to dive into a colourful world of like-minded flute players.

Save the date: ticket sale will start on January 10th at 10:00 am (CET). Make sure you are on time because the tickets will sell out very quickly! We hope to see you again during the festival.
