THE WIND AND BRASS RECITAL RW939 is its own Division in Stardom; please refer to its separate syllabus in Stardom or via the Adelaide Eisteddfod website.
Entries and Fees All entries are to be made and paid on-line via www.stardom.com.au using the Stardom payment system. No late entries/late entry fees will be accepted. Entries strictly close Friday 30th May 2025, 11:59 pm Adelaide Time.
Each competitor pays a fee per section entered, as printed on the computer-generated invoice, plus a single administration fee appearing on the invoice after all required sections have been entered. Payment may be made safely on line. RULES FOR THE FLUTE DIVISION The syllabus contains rules for each section. Competitors, teachers and parents are advised to read the 2025 Rules and Conditions of Competition carefully.
Other information Competitors are asked to enter the repertoire they are performing including the title of each piece and the composer directly into Stardom at least 10 days prior to the first day of the competition as stated in Rule 11 (c) in the General Rules. This speeds up the booking in process on the day and reduces the potential for errors. Note re Sections F611, F612, F621, F622 and the Eisteddfod Concerto: these are considered to be equally prestigious. Competitors who are preparing an entire sonata or suite should consider entering a Complete Flute Sonata or Suite Section, and competitors who are preparing an entire concerto should think about entering the Adelaide Eisteddfod Concerto Division section CN901. The David Cubbin Flute Medallion will be presented to the most promising flautist in the Open Flute Section, at the Special Award Winners Concert held at the end of the competition season. Prof. David Cubbin founded the Flute Society of SA in 1972 and was its first President. He was Principal Flute in the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra from 1955 to 1964, Lecturer in Flute at the Elder Conservatorium from 1956 to 1973 and a foundation member of the University of Adelaide Wind Quintet. He was Professor of Music at the Tasmanian Conservatorium from 1985 to 1990 and President of the Australian Flute Association from 1988 to 1995. He died in May 1997.
The Ray Rosser Memorial Award will be presented to the most promising flautist from the 10 Years and Under and 12 Years and Under Sections at the Special Award Winners Concert held at the end of the competition season.
Ray Rosser was a keen amateur flautist who competed in the first ever Darwin Eisteddfod in 1961. As a young boy he played in the Lakemba Primary School Fife and Drum Band (Sydney) under Victor McMahon. Ray studied flute with David Cubbin and Alison Rosser OAM. He worked with deaf children, was a member of the Flute Society of SA and helped with the Second Australian Flute Convention in 1976. He died in 1990.
