The festival and its facets
Festival Flutes of Europe – Flutes of the World 2013
The festival Flûtes d’Europe – Flûtes du Monde 2013 in Strasbourg was a great success!
It was the first time that an ERPS biennial was held in France. We thank ERTA France and the Conservatoire de Strasbourg for the wonderful cooperation!
Our members were just as actively involved through concerts, master classes and lectures as renowned French musicians. As always at an ERPS Biennial, young players just starting their career also found a podium.
The festival was very well attended – participants came from France, Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Austria, Spain, Norway, Denmark…
The concerts attracted many visitors from the city of Strasbourg. The children’s concerts were organised in cooperation with schools in Strasbourg and ERTA Germany.
Reports on the festival have been published on French radio and television and in German and French trade magazines.
The aim of the ERPS to promote and strengthen communication and the network of active recorder players in Europe across borders was achieved on several levels.

FRANKREICH – Straßburg 2013
Festival “FLÛTES d’EUROPE – FLÛTES du Monde”
18 – 20 October 2013 at the Strasbourg Conservatory
Two organisations, ERPS as a European organisation and ERTA from France, jointly organised this festival, combining their expertise and ideas.
Flûtes d’ Europe: Concerts and courses have highlighted the unique history of the recorder in Europe; its repertoire, the variety of expression and styles, as well as instrument making. In Strasbourg, the heart of Europe, Franco-German friendship plays a prominent role. This relationship is of course also reflected in the music: not only in the Baroque period – but obviously there – French musicians composed in the German style and vice versa.
Flûtes du monde: European music – including that for recorder – has been enriched in the course of music history and obviously also in modern times by the opening up to non-European music. The influence of Asian, Arab and African music is essential – this was also a focal point in the Biennale program.
The choice of the city of Strasbourg to host the 2013 Biennale was motivated by the desire to find a place that has a European character and plays an important role in Franco-German friendship. As a city close to the border, Strasbourg has an ideal geographical location in itself. The border between Germany and France and other countries such as Switzerland, Luxembourg and Belgium are not far away.
Strasbourg is a European city par excellence because of its history and the political organisations based here. It is the ideal location for this festival, organised by a European and a French organisation.
