International Flute Competition
Ferdinand W. Neess
Wiesbaden

Every named piece of the repertoire list has to be prepared completely. The jury reserves the right to choose parts of it. All works free of choice have to be communicated to the competition office by May 1, 2022. The selected pieces for the Final (3rd round) have to be made available to the jury with 5 copies (upon reaching the 3rd round).

This new competition seeks to build a bridge between Art Nouveau and the music of this era and is therefore dedicated to the Music around 1900. All flutists above the age of 18 are invited with no upper age limit.

In the spirit of the founder Ferdinand W. Neess the participation of
professional and non-professional flutists is explicitly encouraged.
