NEWSLETTER - JANUARY - MARCH 2007

          The New Year, as one can see below with at least 21 major Clarinet Workshop/Festival events posted, from

all over the world with more coming in as they become known, is a wealth of opportunity for advancement and inspiration

for everyone serious about music and the Clarinet.   Although some events are short lived, maybe a day, weekend, or a full

week, it is vitally important to participate and grow as many of the great world-class players and teachers are actively

involved.  Many are first-time conferences as one will notice.

       

          Of sad news this February is the passing of American composer Gian Carlo Menotti, 95 years old, and passed away

1 February.  Also, another figure who passed away 14 February is Kenneth Domer, a past associate and Jazz soloist with

The US Army Band.  Tributes and articles on the In Memoriam page.  Of interest, 4 February is Stanley Drucker's birthday, and going

strong at the New York Philharmonic after 57 years as the senior member of the Orchestra, having served since 1960 as Solo

Clarinetist and renowned Clarinet soloist.  These are the role models Clarinetists can look up to.

             Over the last year, there have been two Clarinet Choir Festivals sponsored by Buffet-Crampon USA under the distinguished

Directorship of Mitchell Estrin, Professor of Clarinet at the University of Florida in Gainesville, one of the very best Clarinet

Departments in the USA. Estrin is a member of the Buffet team as Creative and Educational Manager, and also a performing

member of the New York Philharmonic as needed and on tour, a position status he has carried for over 20 years. His connection

with Stanley Drucker, probably the most important Clarinet soloist of the last 50 years, makes his performance and teaching position

unique and a matter of critical interest for any serious upcoming college Clarinet student.  Professor Estrin is also Performing

Organization Chairman with WKA.  Over the last few months, a new CD Recording of the University of Florida Clarinet Ensemble

was released, and made available at the MidWest Band and Orchestra Clinic; entitled 'Wind in the Reed', the music entails

standard and new music, with emphasis on quality repertoire.  The entire stock of CD's were sold out in less than 3 hours. For

more information, contact Professor Estrin to order. More information about Mr Estrin on the Performing Organization Page.

         Of interest, a new name on the Clarinet Jazz scene is an Israeli born performer Anat Cohen, working in New York with

various bands and ensembles as outlined below. 

 Cohen Jazz Quartet performance in Monmouth, New Jersey 18 March 2007      

Originally from Tel-Aviv, Israel, Anat Cohen has been performing around the world sharing her astounding musicianship

and becoming a major force on the global world music and Jazz scene. Aside from her extraordinary instrumental abilities

on soprano and tenor saxophones, clarinet and flute, she has a natural ability to absorb the music of different cultures,

process it and interpret it with her own special take.

 

    

                                                                      
 

Clariperu is organizing a "virtual competition",
called:

"Musical Marathon - Prize for Most Creative
Interpretation". This is open to everyone, is free,
the music can be performed in any clarinet, and
hopefully it will be fun - everything will happen on
the Internet.

Klarinettistendag -   27 Januari  2007

De Klarinettistendag Midden-Nederland vindt plaats op zaterdag 27 januari 2007 in het gebouw van de SKVR Muziekschool aan de Pieter de Hoochweg 125 in Rotterdam. Klarinettisten van alle leeftijden en niveaus kunnen deze dag in verschillende ensembles samenspelen, of deelnemen aan een workshop. Voor kinderen en jongeren zijn er speciale ensembles, maar zij kunnen ook voor één van de andere workshops kiezen.

's Middags is er om 15.30 uur een afsluitende presentatie in de grote zaal, waar het klinkende resultaat van een dag lang samen musiceren te horen zal zijn.
Kortom, een dag die geen klarinettist mag missen!

Inschrijven

Deelnemers schrijven zich in voor één workshop. Het is verstandig een tweede en derde keuze op het inschrijfformulier kenbaar te maken, voor het geval dat de gekozen workshop vol is. Op basis van leeftijd en niveau maakt de organisatie de indeling.
Na 13 januari 2007 krijgt u bericht over plaatsing, en wordt de eventuele bladmuziek ter voorbereiding toegezonden.
Omdat er de hele dag naar de eindpresentatie wordt toegewerkt, is het niet wenselijk om vroegtijdig te vertrekken.
 

Programma

Kids-ensemble

Wanneer je een jaar of langer klarinet speelt kun je meedoen in dit ensemble voor jonge klarinettisten (tot 12 jaar). Er zijn eenvoudige en ook wat moeilijkere partijen zodat er altijd wat voor je bij is! De muziek, krijg je van tevoren thuisgestuurd zodat je die alvast kunt voorbereiden.
niveau: A
docent: Andrea Slabbekoorn

'Groove' orkest voor jongeren

Lekker een dag 'grooven' voor klarinettisten(tes) tussen de 13 en 18 jaar. We hebben een docent gevonden die helemaal thuis is in deze muziek!
niveau: vanaf B
docent: Marc Winder

Workshop improviseren

Deelnemers kunnen een liedje of instrumentaal stuk uit de jazz, pop of klassieke periode aanleveren. Stuur je idee per mail! Michel selecteert daaruit drie items, waar we mee gaan improviseren. Tijdens de workshop wordt er ook een arrangement gemaakt. Max. 12 deelnemers.
niveau: B/C
docent: Michel Duijves

Klezmer workshop

Klezmer, wie kan er stil blijven zitten bij het horen van deze Joodse feestmuziek waarin de klarinet meestal de boventoon voert? Tijdens deze workshop wordt kennisgemaakt met prachtige melodieën en wordt men wegwijs in de gebruikelijke versieringstechnieken. Bladmuziek wordt na inschrijving toegestuurd.
Niveau: B/C
docent: Hans Witteman

Workshop Ensemblespel

Samenspelen is leuker dan alleen spelen. Veel klarinettisten spelen dan ook regelmatig samen in kwartetten of trio's. Op de klarinettistendag kun je je eigen ensemble laten coachen door ervaren docenten. Maar ook als je niet in een vast ensemble speelt kun je je voor deze workshop opgeven. De organisatie stelt dan op basis van leeftijd, niveau en ervaring ensembles samen.
niveau: C/D
docenten: Lianne Vreugdenhil en Marten Hemminga

Clarinetchoir

Het 'clarinetchoir' is een groot klarinetorkest waarin alle klarinetten, van es-klarinet tot bas-klarinet, hun partij meeblazen. Er wordt de gehele dag onder leiding van een dirigent gewerkt aan een aantal bijzondere stukken. Er is een beginnerschoir en een gevorderden choir. De partijen worden vooraf toegestuurd.
niveau: A t/m D
dirigenten: Josje de Regt en Coen Wolfgram

Docenten

Alle workshops en ensembles worden geleid door klarinettisten die als docent werkzaam zijn aan verschillende muziekscholen en conservatoria in Nederland. Naast hun werk als docent zijn de meeste ook actief in orkesten en ensembles of treden op als solist.

Niveauaanduiding

niveau A : beginnend (nog geen A-diploma (HaFaBra-opleiding)) niveau B : enigszins gevorderd (vanaf A-diploma) niveau C: gevorderd (vanaf B-diploma) niveau D: vergevorderd (vanaf C-diploma)

Midwest ClariFest 2007 - University of Nebraska

Featured Artist - 

Michael Lowenstern, clarinet & bass clarinet

Michael Lowenstern, considered one of the finest bass clarinetists in the world, has performed,
recorded and toured the U.S. and abroad as a soloist and with ensembles of every variety. His career
has traveled across equally diverse territory, and Lowenstern has enjoyed performing with musicians
and groups such as The Klezmatics, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Steve Reich and Musicians, The
Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and John Zorn.

As a composer, Michael has written music for concert, film, dance and the other new media. Actively
involved with new technology in sound and music, Michael is one of this country's leading producers
of creative electro-acoustic music, both for his own works and in collaboration with other composers.
To date he can be heard on over forty recordings, including three solo discs: the critically acclaimed
Spasm, 1985, and his newest Ten Children, which garnered a "Parenting Pick" award in Parenting
Magazine's music listing for 2004.

In 1989, Michael was the recipient of a Fulbright grant to study in Amsterdam, and in 1991 was the
top prizewinner at the International Gaudeamus Competition in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. A graduate
of the Interlochen Arts Academy, he received further training from the Eastman School of Music
(BM, Performer's Certificate), the Sweelinck Conservatorium Amsterdam (Artist's Certificate), and the State
University of New York at Stony Brook (MM, DMA), studying clarinet and bass clarinet with Charles Neidich,
Harry Sparnaay, Richard MacDowell and John Bruce Yeh, and composition with Daniel Weymouth. Michael
has served on the faculties of the Juilliard School and New York University, and travels regularly as a guest
lecturer at universities around the country.

Lowenstern is also an award-winning designer and enjoys a second career as an web developer and animator
for McCann Erickson in New York City, having designed and produced both online and offline advertising for
clients such as Maybelline, Warner Brothers, Intel and Wendy's, among many others. He lives in Brooklyn with
his wife, clarinetist Katherine Cooke, and daughter Ariel.
 

        The UNL clarinet studio is looking forward to the eleventh annual Midwest ClariFest on Friday,

March 30, 2007. All events will take place in Kimball Recital Hall on the UNL campus. There is

no registration fee for the festival or for the recitals, and clarinetists of all ages are encouraged to
