A Flute Evening Full of Virtuosity in the Red Hall
When the Wind Academy of the Hochschule für Musik Mainz opens its doors for a guest concert, a name takes center stage that holds weight in the classical winds scene: Matthieu Gauci-Ancelin. The flutist, born in Paris, will perform on Sunday, January 17, 2027, at 7:30 PM in the Red Hall of the JGU-Hochschule für Musik in Mainz; admission is free.

An Artist with International Influence
Gauci-Ancelin was trained at the Conservatoire de Paris and the Karajan Academy of the Berlin Philharmonic. One of his influential mentors is Emmanuel Pahud. At the age of 21, he became the principal flutist at the Komische Oper Berlin, later taking the same position with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra under Daniel Harding. He regularly performs with top orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Munich Philharmonic, the Dresden Staatskapelle, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, and the Saito Kinen Orchestra. His profile also includes recordings for Deutsche Grammophon.

Precision, Sound Culture, and Stage
The evening promises not a loud spectacle, but a concert experience with fine colors, controlled breathing technique, and the highest sound discipline. This is where the fascination of a flute guest concert lies: small gestures, great impact. In the acoustically focused atmosphere of the Red Hall, every phrase unfolds immediately, every articulation matters, and every dynamic nuance gets space. The Wind Academy deliberately emphasizes practical encounters between young talent and international professionals. ([musik.uni-mainz.de](https://www.musik.uni-mainz.de/wind-academy-hfm-mainz/))
Masterclass and Musical Exchange
On January 17 and 18, Matthieu Gauci-Ancelin will also hold a masterclass for flute each day starting at 10 AM in the chamber music hall. The course is aimed at students of the Hochschule für Musik Mainz, and interested listeners can participate passively. For the audience, this creates a rare glimpse behind the scenes of professional instrumental work - an evening that uniquely combines concert and education.
