In 1999, Swiss Flutist Martin Huber assembled three fellow musicians to create an ensemble with this specific ideal combination of woodwind and strings. The ensemble Flautarchi was quickly  acknowleged as one of the promising ensembles of the young generation. In 2002 they won the KIWANIS- Competition, one of the most presticious  Awards in Switzerland.

The members of 'Flautarchi' are all players of the leading orchestras in Switzerland as Tonhalle Zurich, Kammerochester Basel and Opera of Zurich and have been playing together with such great musicians like Martha Argerich, Gioria Feidman, Clemens Hagen, Walter Delahunt, Aiyun Huang, Stringquartetts like Alban Berg, Amadeus and La Salle and many others.

Due to the combination of instruments, Flautarchi focuses primarily on the Vienna Classics with Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven but continuosly increases their repertoire. Historical sidesteps are hardly never missing and the group regularly commissions new music by contemporary composers.
