<\/p>\nI spent a most pleasurable 90 minutes last night in the small recital hall at Codarts Rotterdam listening to seven young flute players in the class of Juliette Hurel, Julie Moulin and Wim Steinmann all playing piccolo solos. The small audience of flute players, friends and partners of flute players and family of flute players witnessed a remarkable show. In turn, Andr\u00e9 Portela, Constance Sannier, Federico Dalpr\u00e1, B\u00e9n\u00e9dicte Zeitoun, Maxime Na\u00ebl, Violeta Gil Garc\u00eda and Wendy Vo Cong Tri with accompanists Annette Rogers, piano and Constance sannier, harpsichord,\u00a0 performed their solos by Bach, Telemann, Dorff, Rachmaninov, John Cox and Kohler with poised musicianship, most from memory and well-founded techniques. The piccolo sang and dazzled in equal proportion and the time flew by.<\/p>\n
The teaching of Rotterdam Philharmonic piccolo player, Wim Steinmann, is surely to commended here but I also thought that to have a flute class that nurtures the related instrument in such a way is rare. Juliette Hurel and Julie Moulin were both there to support this event. This is a class to be proud of!<\/p>\n
