Flute trio Flautissimo
We started our cooperation already during the studies in the flute
class of Marta Braunsteinerova at the State Conservatory in
Bratislava. The idea to establish a flute trio started already in 2007.
We regularly play recitals and concerts with repertoire from
renaissance to 20. century but also we had a possibility to premiere works written for us from slovak contemporary composers. We worked with many flutists and professors: Hansgeorg Schmeiser (AT), Jan Ostrý (CZ), Christian Plouvier (BE), Alja Velkaverh (SLO), Mattia Petrilli (IT) Ivica Encingerová-Gábrišová (SK) Gottfried Johannes Pokorny - chamber music professor (AT)
