Vietnam International Flute Festival 2026 (VIFF 2026) - The first International Flute Festival and Competition held in Vietnam. The non-profit international art event is organized to connect the music-loving community, nurture young talents and spread cultural values through flute art.
With the theme "Rise with the Pearl Island - Melody in the Air", VIFF 2026 for the first time chose Phu Quoc as a destination, making Pearl Island a gathering place for the international flute art community.
The highlight will be the competition of 40 flute talents from 12 countries and territories who will gather in this event. Notable are Erin Bouriakov - an Grammy-winning artist and founder of VIFF; Sebastian Jacot - champion of many prestigious international flute competitions and one of the most outstanding flute artists today.
Contestants will compete in 3 categories: Junior Division, MH Division and Young Artist Division. The best faces will be honored at Winners' Gala Concert, in which the champion of the Young Artist Division category will receive a prize worth 1,000 USD.
Along with the competition rounds is a series of professional activities including Fundamental Class, Master Class, Artist Class, concerts, instrumental performances, instrument exhibitions and the gala night "When the Wind Sings - When the Wind Sings", creating an open cultural exchange space, contributing to nurturing young talents and promoting the sustainable development of flute art.
During the 6 days of the event, Premier Residences Phu Quoc Emerald Bay on Bai Kem will become a space where nature and art intersect.
Vietnam International Flute Festival choosing Phu Quoc as the first venue in Vietnam not only marks the development of the event itself, but also reflects the increasing attraction of Pearl Island on the map of international cultural and artistic events.
