We're thrilled to announce the winners of the Galway Flute Festival 2022 BFS Awards, who each receive an Auditor place worth $375 at the prestigious festival this month.

Sir James and Lady Jeanne Galway

Sir James and Lady Jeanne Galway, who adjudicated the competition, were so impressed by the talent of the entrants that they chose three winners instead of two. They write:

On behalf of the 2022 Galway Flute Festival we are delighted to offer 3 places for passes to our festival to:

• Rozhan Farajianarkouli

• Mayukhjit Chakraborty

• Joseph Geary

Congratulations to all applicants. The level being so high our decision was a difficult one. We hope to hear more from these young aspiring artists in years to come.

We welcome any of the applicants to our festival. Online passes are still available for purchase at www.galwayflutefestival.com.

Please let us know if you are attending so we can give you a warm welcome online.
