Concerti Opus X

Toulouse Chamber Orchestra; Lucas, Vincent; Colliard, Gilles

Among all the instruments celebrated by the red priest, the flute, a successful instrument in Italy, plays a major role. This edition of the six concertos of this opus X is dedicated to the flute. Vincent Lucas captures it with the virtuosity and profound musicality that characterize this immense flutist. At the age of 17, Vincent Lucas was the first Frenchman awarded the Prague International Radio Competition (Concetino Praga). When he was 14 years old, he was amongst the youngest flutists to enter, with first nomination, the Paris Conservatoire (CNSMDP). After having spent five years at the Toulouse Capitol Orchestra, he joined for six years, one of the most prestigious orchestras in the world, the Berlin Philharmonic. Since 1994, he is first flute soloist at the “Orchestre de Paris”. Beyond his career mainly based on being an orchestral musician, his teaching activities include many masterclasses in France and abroad. He has been professor at the Paris Conservatoire (CNSMDP) since 1995 and was nominated main professor at the Region of Paris National Conservatoire (CNR) in 1999.
