In the organizer's words:

Flutes and harps are among the oldest musical instruments known to mankind and have fascinated audiences for thousands of years with their unmistakable sound - from ancient mythology to today's musical landscape. With their unique tonal transparency, flutes and harps became important protagonists in Impressionism in particular, as well as in the chamber music works of Jacques Ibert and Albert Roussel. The British composer Arnold Bax composed his "Elegiac Trio" during the First World War, mixing impressionistic timbres with Celtic-inspired melodies. Jean Cras, a Breton composer and naval officer, also combines French impressionism with folk music influences in his quintet. It is easy to hear maritime associations - in keeping with Cras' professional background. Mozart's Flute Quartet K. 285, written for the Dutch flutist Ferdinand De Jean, is not a masterpiece of Impressionism but of Viennese Classicism and demonstrates the full expressive range of the flute - from brilliant passages in the Allegro to singing lines in the Adagio and playful runs in the Final Rondo.
