Grand Finale with Philzuid

We are delighted that the string players of Philzuid will once again take part in the Grand Finale for Bachelor’s and Master’s students. As the orchestra of the south of the Netherlands, Philzuid is known for its vibrant performances and its connection with audiences of all generations.

The conductor is Carlo Jans from Luxembourg, whose artistic energy is matched by his extensive experience as both a flute player and a conductor.

The programme includes:
Jean Rivier – Concerto for Flute
Jindrich Feld – Sonata for Flute and String Orchestra

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...
