In Memoriam

Peter-Lukas Graf

The European Flute Council learned with great sadness of the passing of Peter-Lukas Graf, one of the most influential figures in the history of the flute in Europe and beyond.

An exceptional flutist, pedagogue, and thinker, Peter-Lukas Graf shaped generations of musicians through his artistry and his teaching. His contribution to flute pedagogy, notably through his writings and masterclasses, has had a lasting impact on professional training and artistic reflection throughout Europe.

Beyond his remarkable musical stature, Peter-Lukas Graf was deeply respected for his humanity. Known for his intellectual clarity, integrity, and quiet authority, he embodied values of rigor, respect, and responsibility that continue to inspire the international flute community.

The European Flute Council pays tribute to a musician whose legacy transcends borders and schools, and whose influence will remain alive in the work of countless flutists, teachers, and institutions.

Our thoughts are with his family, his students, and all those who were touched by his life and work.
