Het Benelux Fluitconcours bestaat al sinds 1984, maar in 2020 zijn voor het eerst de piccolospelers aan de beurt!

Speciaal voor dit concours schreef Mathilde Wantenaar de compositie 'La canzone del piccolo uccellino' (Het lied van de kleine vogel) voor piccolo en vibrafoon. Deze compositie is als verplicht werk voor € 17,50 verkrijgbaar bij ons secretariaat. Pas na het concours mag dit werk in het openbaar uitgevoerd worden. Je kunt hier het inkijkexemplaar inzien. 

Tijdens het slotconcert speelt Ilonka Kolthof de officiële wereldpremière van 'La canzone del piccolo uccellino'. 

Je kunt meedoen aan het Benelux Fluitconcours als je als amateur piccolo speelt en in de Benelux woont. We hebben een pianist en vibrafoon speler voor je geregeld die je kan begeleiden en met wie je tevoren even kunt oefenen.
