Felix Renggli, Switzerland - member of the flute Jury 2014

Felix Renggli studied with Gerhard Hildenbrand, Peter-Lukas Graf and Aurèle Nicolet. Having won various flute and chamber music competitions, he gave up his chair as a solo flautist with the Symphony Orchestra of St. Gallen for a career as a soloist and in chamber music. He is regularly invited to participate in international festivals (including Paris, Lucerne, Bourges, Rio, Lockenhaus, Akiyoshidai, Ars Musica). He tours as soloist and member and different chamber music groups in Europe, Japan, United States, Korea, China and South America. Felix Renggli is professor at the Music Academy of Basel, and since 2004, at the Music University of Freiburg-in-Brisgau. He regularly gives masterclasses in Europe, Japan, Australia and South-America. Collaborating with oboist, composer and conductor Heinz Holliger on a regular basis has deeply marked his musical career. As member of the Ensemble Contrechamps for many years, he is specialized in contemporary music. However, his repertoire includes a wide range of epochs, including baroque music, played on historical instruments. He appears in many recordings and, since 1999, he is artistic director of Swiss Chamber Concerts.
