Canadian jazz flutist, Bill McBirnie, was selected as a winner in the inaugural Jazz Flute Soloist Competition at the 40th annual National Flute Association (NFA) convention, held August 9-12 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The NFA was founded in 1972 in the USA and is international in scope. It has grown to become one of the largest instrumental organizations in the world (and certainly the largest with respect to the flute) with more than 6,000 members from more than 50 countries.

The NFA Jazz Flute Soloist Competition, held for the first time in 2012, will be conducted on a biennial basis thereafter.

Note: Bill McBirnie has also been a past winner in the NFA Jazz Flute Masterclass Competition (2003) as well as the NFA Jazz Flute Big Band Competition (2009).
