Just Flutes Presents… Just Flutes Festival 2025, Masterclass: Alena Walentin

(Exact timings TBC)

We are thrilled that Alena Walentin is giving Masterclasses as part of the Just Flutes Festival this August.

To perform in this masterclass, you will require a minimum level of grade 8.

Alena Walentin is an Altus Artist and winner of 26 awards & prizes with a versatile international career as a soloist, chamber musician, arranger, Artistic leader and guest solo flute with leading orchestras such as Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, National Orchestra of Sweden, Iceland Symphony Orchestra, BBC Scottish Symphony and BBC National Orchestra of Wales, The Philharmonia, London Mozart Players, and others.

With her great passion for sharing her knowledge since young age, Alena is highly sought after as a flute and chamber teacher, and has already held teaching positions at five conservatoires and one university in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Denmark. She has also given masterclasses in Switzerland, Portugal, Singapore, Italy, Japan, Taiwan and USA.

Having given several premieres of works and worked closely with many composers, Alena is particularly keen on supporting female composers who were for a long time underrepresented in the classical world due to their gender. Alena recorded albums with Swiss, German and Danish record labels. Her debut album was chosen as an 'Album of the Week' by the Danish National Radio. And now Alena is looking forward to the upcoming release of her new Naxos recording for flute and guitar by American female composers, which she recorded together with her duo partner Niklas Johansen.

Alena is an Altus international Artist and plays on a PSII.

The booking form below is for players who wish to perform in the Masterclass. Audience members do not need to book, however a ticket to the Festival is required for entry.
