Eduardo Belmar studied in Barcelona, in Paris with Sophie Cherrier and Vincent Lucas, in Stuttgart with Davide Formisano, and in Basel with Felix Renggli. Before joining the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, the winner of the 2015 ARD International Music Competition had already been principal flautist of the Badische Staatskapelle Karlsruhe, the Frankfurt Opera and the Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne, and was a sought-after guest performer with renowned German and French orchestras. Since 2020, Eduardo Belmar has been teaching at the Musikhochschule Frankfurt/M. He is also a member of the Orchestra of the Bayreuther Festspiele. 

Its closeness to the human voice, the ability to create different timbres – and the fact that it’s easy to transport.

During my probationary period, the concert with Iván Fischer and Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8 was a particularly wonderful experience. It was the first time I’d worked with Mr Fischer, and I also had the pleasure of playing one of my favourite symphonies.
