Presented by Flutes & Flutists
Mark your calendars for the 2025 Australian Flute Festival, taking place from 3–6 October at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. This year’s theme, “Across the Generations,” honours the flautists, innovators, and educators whose contributions continue to shape and inspire the flute community.
The festival will feature a vibrant program of masterclasses, recitals, workshops, flute choirs, competitions, interviews, and more. It’s a celebration of the flute’s past, present, and exciting future—and an opportunity to engage with artists at every stage of their musical journey.
🌍 International Guest Artists
András Adorján – A Legendary Voice in the Flute World
András Adorján is one of the most prominent flautists of his generation. Born in Budapest, raised in Copenhagen, and based in Munich since 1974, Adorján has recorded over 100 albums and is the editor of the monumental Lexikon der Flöte—a 900-page encyclopedia on the flute. He has served as principal flutist with major European orchestras and held professorships in Cologne and Munich.
A longtime consultant for Yamaha’s handmade flute line, András brings unmatched insight and experience. This will be his first visit to Australia since 2001, and we are thrilled to welcome him back to our stage.
Alena Walentin – Altus Artist and Rising Star
Award-winning flautist Alena Walentin is renowned for her expressive performances and global teaching presence. She has performed as guest principal with major orchestras including the Royal Opera House, Iceland Symphony, and the BBC orchestras, and her recordings have been featured by Swiss, German, and Danish labels—including an upcoming release with Naxos.
A passionate educator, Alena has taught at conservatoires across the UK, Denmark, and the Netherlands, and led masterclasses worldwide. This will be her first Australian appearance, and we are incredibly excited for audiences to experience her artistry.
This year’s festival promises to be one of the most exciting yet—don’t miss your chance to be part of it.
