Members of Orchestre de flutes Francais, the first flute orchestra in Europe established in 1995, gave a performance at an occasional concert at the Franciscan convent.
OFF was established by the members of the Arcadia Quartet - Pierre Yves Artaud, Arlette Biget, Pierre Alain Biget and Pascal Ravez. The instruments include the whole flute family, from piccolo flute to octobass, while the repertoire encompasses various transcriptions of both classical music pieces and contemporary composers' compositions, ordered specially for this ensemble.
For their presentation in Rovinj, the members of OFF played Doppler's «Andante and Rondo» for two flutes and flute orchestra, Roussel's «Joueurs de flauta» for flute and flute orchestra, and Camp's «La tempesta», also a piece for flute and flute orchestra.
This was followed by an interpretation of Čop's «Imagine», a fantasy for flute orchestra and piano, Kuljerić's «Folk art III» for piano and flute orchestra, and Tairo's «Flautissimo» for flute orchestra. Under the baton of conductor Pierre Alain Biget, the performance of soloists Pierre Yves Artaud, Metod Sironić and Martina Mičija particularly stood out.
