The Flautiada Civic Association was founded in 2009 as an effort and initiative of a group of teachers and fans of the transverse flute with the aim of quality education and promotion of flute playing in Slovakia. It was founded as a reaction to the constant lack of information about new teaching methods and the need to confront the work of pupils and their teachers in the field of international competition.
The Flautiada brings together teachers, flutists, students, and fans of flute playing. The association's initiatives include the organisation of professional seminars and workshops for students and teachers, the preparation of concerts and events that contribute to the dissemination of quality flute playing in Slovakia.
The priority and main activity of OZ Flautiada is especially the preparation and organization of the international competition Flautiada, which is intended for young flutists up to 26 years of age.
