FLAUTIST

Even as a teenager Walter Feldmann organized well-attended public concerts with a trio (flute, cello and piano) that was well established. He was a flautist in various orchestras, which shaped and had a lasting influence on him and made him acquainted with new music, as well as large orchestral works – Youth Orchestra of European Countries (Jeunesse Musicale), International Youth Symphony Orchestra Blue Lake (Michigan), Orchestre de chambre d'Aix-en-Provence, Zurich Academic Orchestra, Swiss Youth Symphony Orchestra. Several times he was guest flutist at the Serenata Basel (today Basel Chamber Orchestra) and at the Ensemble S Zurich. Since 1998, he has been a member of the ensemble les joueurs de flute. From 2000 to 2004 he worked – as a composer and flautist – with the choreographer Gabriel Hernández (tHEL danse Paris) and with Odile Auboin (Viola, Ensemble Intercontemporain). Since 2015 he has been playing in a duo with the pianist Ludovic Van Hellemont.

Repertoire

In addition to classical and romantic literature, Walter Feldmann prefers to play the repertoire of the 20th century and contemporary music. This was mainly linked to his work with tHEL danse Paris (Gabriel Hernández) and the ensemble les joueurs de flute, with which he has performed and premiered countless works from all eras. 

> Debussy, La fille aux cheveux de lin

For tHEL danse he was on stage with the following works:
