Clarinet Castle News from Hungary - New Project

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

           Greetings from Hungary. Clarinetist Jozsef Balogh and the Windland Music Foundation is pleased to announce that working together

to reconstruct and rebuild a baroque castle from the XVIII century. It will be the home of clarinetist, the music and the

arts. Promoting world friendship through the music the castle will provide music education, concerts, conferences,

courses, exhibitions, with studio facilities for musicians from all over the world. In summer of 2008 the 15th clarinet

course will be the first event with gala concert in the palace.

           We are asking for your assistance to inform your students and colleagues in your country of the opportunities that the

„Greenland Palace of Art and Music”will provide. Please pass, send this letter to any organisations, vour clarinetists friends.

 We would like to ask an Interview from you for our webpage and for our Castle Book. We ask you to be the „Artist of the month”,

to help us with your name.

           The creation of the new Greenland Palace would simply not be possible without the help of many supporters. You too can play

a vital part in making the new Greenland Palace a reality.

            We are requesting for a 100 or 200 € gift to the castle project.  It will play an important role in our success. We are most grateful

for all donations, large or small. 

Bank account number: Windland

Unicredit Bank (Eur): IBAN HU03 1091 8001 0000 0012 1521 0028

            We need help to do the castle for the musicians, and for improving this beautiful campus, life of musicians,

and hard of hearing students, who can play clarinet also. We welcome art books, music sheets, CDs,

films, videos, instruments, equipment, and other gifts of property which help us in our work.

           Any help you can give would be very appreciated. Every 1€ we receive releases 5€  of our grant. To begin the work we need to

raise 45 000 €. With this amount we can apply for EC applications, and make the architectural plans for the castle. 

           For more information on or questions e-mail us at info@windland.org or look at www.windland.org

 The mission of the Palace is to support the Beethoven program, the music education of deaf and hard of hearing students., and to

support and enhance the creativity of artists by providing an uninterrupted time for work, reflection, and collegial interaction in

a setting of great natural beauty. In this glorious settings, artists are able to concentrate on their work away from the distractions

of the daily life. There will be all facilities which are needed for the artist, and for the students to be an artist. Musicians can

study, play, research music in quiet, relaxed circumstances, and can get help in their health problems also.

All educational facilities are in a close distance, at the same place the musicians can sleep, eat and drink,

rehearse, practice, give concerts, record music, compose, and relax. There will be a library in which there will be

the music repertoire, books, computer, big instruments, piano in the concert hall. Everything in the same place.

            This is the „green castle” project, the quiet, creative centre which we dreamed. At this moment it is a dream, and the castle fold up.

The government is closing schools, hospitals, and the standard of living is going down, and the culture isn’t so important. The

project is being supported by an incestor company, but we must raise a big part of the rebuilding costs. We are on our own. This is

the reason why we ask your help.

The following are some of the ways in which you can give more help:

To send 100 or 200 € gift to the castle project

To get an autographed item or picture for a charity auction to support the reconstruction

KARL LEISTER MASTER CLASSES AND PERFORMANCE

AT NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY - EVANSTON ILLINOIS

World renowned legend Clarinetist from the Berlin Philharmonic under Herbert von Karajan - Karl Leister, is giving master

classes and a performance at Northwestern University on the above dates, with some added interest as stated by Professor

Steve Cohen, former Solo Clarinetist in the Louisiana Philharmonic:

Karl Leister is doing a master class and recital here at Northwestern
University on April 25 (class) and April 27, 2007.  The big news and the
reason I'm writing you is that we are broadcasting the master class as a live
internet stream.  In other words, when I give you the website address (when
I have it), anyone can watch and listen to this master class live as it
happens.  Northwestern has been doing this now for a while and I just
watched one that Richard Goode did the other day, on my own computer.  The
quality was spectacular and the sound was great too.  It was very exciting.
We have done this with Yo Yo Ma as well recently.
 
Would you be able to somehow tell the clarinet community about this.  It is
at no cost for anyone to watch and I only would like to have people aware of
it so they can participate by watching.

It’s an excellent program and an outstanding festival. I’m pleased to have this opportunity of a long-term relationship with The University of Montana.”   - Buddy DeFranco     “I like the personal touch.

			The Buddy DeFranco Jazz Festival is a non-competitive, educational event. High school and college jazz bands perform every 30 minutes throughout both days and receive written comments from the guest clinicians. Immediately following its performance, each band will have an opportunity to work for 30 minutes with one of the clinicians in another location. This is a change from previous years that we hope will be more beneficial for the visiting bands and directors.   It is possible to receive a numerical rating upon request. Also, Outstanding Soloist Awards will be given to deserving soloists from the daytime performances. They will be presented during the Saturday night concert. This adds an element of excitement to the festivities and recognizes superior individual achievement without creating a competitive atmosphere.   Each group registration fee of $150 includes the adjudication, an audio tape of the performance and access to clinics and the daytime performances. Evening concert reserve tickets can be purchased separately. Information about a special discount for concert tickets will be sent to you upon receipt of your registration form.   The deadline for registration is March 31, 2007.

The late Sir Nicholas Shackleton (1937-2006), in addition to his outstanding achievements in earth science, made significant contributions to the clarinet scholarship, both through his own research and by forming a substantial collection of clarinets and other woodwind instruments. Sir Nicholas made his collection available to the international community of organologists. The Sir Nicholas Shackleton Collection was bequeathed to the University of Edinburgh who will continue Sir Nicholas's use of the Collection to support learning and research. A new display of the Collection will be inaugurated during this meeting.
