The flute orchestra masterclass auditions
The masterclass is intended for all flutists and flautists who wish to prepare for orchestra auditions.
The meeting held by Maestros Gianluca Campo, first flute of the Teatro La Fenice in Venice, Riccardo Ghiani, first flute of the Orchestra of the Teatro Lirico in Cagliari, is part of the fourth edition of the annual course of high specialization in flute 2025/2026.
In addition to individual instrument lessons for actual students, the Masterclass will bring the focus to simulated orchestra auditions.
A real audition for all actual masterclass students. In front of a committee chaired by the Masters and external commissioners, the students will be able to test themselves with an audition program composed of pieces and orchestral passages among the most popular in the calls for auditions and competitions.
