INTERNATIONAL FLUTE COMPETITION
2026-06-01 - 2026-08-31 | ONLINE
The International Flute Competition 2026 is a unique event dedicated to the memory and artistic legacy of Peter-Lukas Graf, one of the most outstanding flutists and pedagogues of our time.
The competition is open to flutists of different generations – from the youngest participants to students, young artists, and emerging professionals – with no age limit. Its aim is to support artistic development, inspire young musicians, and create a space for international exchange at the highest artistic level.
As of May 1st, 2026, we warmly invite our youngest participants to apply – flutists born between 2020 and 2013.
Each age group is assessed separately, with every year of birth forming its own individual category, ensuring a fair and thoughtful evaluation.
We look forward to receiving your applications!
