International Fürstenau Flute Competition
The International Fürstenau Flute Competition takes place in Münster, Westphalia. With this competition, the GWK and the Münster University of Music, in cooperation with the Münster Symphony Orchestra and renowned jurors, aim to support highly talented young flutists on their way to an international career.
The IFFC is named after the flute virtuoso, composer and teacher Anton Bernhard Fürstenau (1792 Münster - 1852 Dresden) and is financially supported by the Volksbank im Münsterland eG and the Werte-Stiftung-Münsterland. Famous throughout Europe as a musician in his day, Fürstenau is now to be brought back into the public consciousness as a composer of the early Romantic period whose works have repertoire value, and the virtuoso flute repertoire is to be expanded through the dissemination of his compositions.
