Trio de Clarone on American Tour
With its dark-toned, melancholy sound and unusual shape, the bassett horn is a rarity in the clarinet family—and the concert hall. However, no composer accomplished more for this expressive instrument than Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who wrote numerous works for the horn, including five luminous Divertimenti. Fueled by a fascination with the horn’s sound, the German clarinet virtuoso Sabine Meyer, her brother Wolfgang, and husband Reiner Wehle formed Trio di Clarone in 1983.
For nearly three decades, this trio has paired Mozart’s ingenious works with important present-day compositions and occasionally ventured into colorful collaborations with jazz and blues musicians. Bringing with it a sound The Detroit News called “an eloquent, illuminating expression of chamber music,” the trio will perform a program including Mozart, Francis Poulenc, Bach, and Stravinsky.

Eddie Daniels is that rarest of rare musicians who is not
only equally at home in both jazz and classical music, but excels at both with
breathtaking virtuosity.
Expert testimony from the jazz world comes from the eminent jazz critic Leonard
Feather, who said of Eddie, "It is a rare event in jazz where one man can all
but reinvent an instrument bringing it to a new stage of revolution."
In a major coup for St Edmund's School, Grammy award winning Eddie Daniels will
be holding a masterclass and performing in an evening concert with the David
Rees-Williams Trio. This comes three days after his appearance with the LSO at
The Barbican.
Tickets will go on sale in October but as they are going to be in great demand

Our guest artist this year will be Eric Mandat, the noted contemporary clarinet artist and composer. Audiences around the world are attracted to his imaginative compositions, and his ability to create new sounds with the clarinet.
Clarinetist and composer Eric Mandat is internationally recognized for his groundbreaking contributions to contemporary clarinet music. The Chicago Reader states, "Mandat is exploring new worlds with a unique combination of virtuosity and a creative use of multiphonics...he uses them to create highly personal and expressive compositions that...are loaded with musical meaning." The Village Voice notes the "suave physicality of his presence as a performer, and finds his style to be “riveting.” Mandat tours world-wide as a soloist and chamber musician, presenting lectures and recitals featuring new American clarinet music as well as traditional repertoire. He has premiered his works at international conferences in Chicago, Stockholm, Tokyo, Vancouver, and Porto, and has appeared as soloist with the Latvian National Chamber Orchestra, the Chicago Chamber Orchestra, and the Cleveland Chamber Symphony. Mandat is a member of the Chicago Symphony's MusicNOW ensemble, which recently performed works by Elliott Carter and Bruno Mantovani under the direction of Maestro Pierre Boulez. He also performs with The Transatlantic Trio, which has concertized in the United States and Europe. Of the group’s recording of trios by Brahms and d'Indy, Fanfare states they "easily rank with the best available recording. Highly recommended!"

3 - 12 March 2012
Paris, France
For a week in March 2012, the city of Rouen will become a place of musical effervescence, unforgettable musical sharing and numerous encounters with outstanding musicians. Two institutions known for their cultural richness : the CRR of Rouen, directed by Claire Paris Messler, and the Théâtre des Arts, directed by Frederic Roels, will become the hosts for the 70 candidates preselected from the first taped audition, the members of the jury and the audience for all the rounds, the concerts and all the musical encounters.
The goal of this event focuses on three levels: international, professional and educational.
The city of Rouen and its Conservatory are emblematic of Jacques Lancelot's life.
Lancelot was born in Rouen and worked as a professor of the CRR of Rouen for 42 years. Nevertheless in spite of his strong local roots, his musical stature and prestige largely surpassed French boundaries. Japan, in particular, is the home country of many professional and amateur clarinetists who are former students of Jacques Lancelot. This is the reason why both countries, Japan and France, have decided to join to organize this competition, which will take place every two years, alternating the country that hosts the competition between France, where the first (2012) will be celebrated, and Japan, who will host the second in 2014. The partnership and collaboration between these two countries to organize this competition is, to us, a unique example and also the signature trait of this competition, which will be characterized by a strong international component, and which welcomes candidates of all nationalities.
An international music competition always sets the spotlight on young talents and the accomplishment of winning a competition is always a great calling card for a young musician as well as being very helpful in gaining recognition, but we want to even further to help the winner of the first prize of the competition by offering him or her a two-year contract for a tour of concerts and recitals throughout France and other countries.
On the week after the final round of the competition, the winner of the first prize will perform as a soloist, accompanied by the Orchestre de l'Opéra de Rouen/Haute Normandie, the Jean Françaix Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra, composed for and dedicated to Jacques Lancelot. In project : the winner would also be able to participate in concerts during the 2012-2013 season with the Orchestre de Besançon/Franche-Comté, directed by Jean-Francois Verdier. Besides this, many other concerts in France, Japan, United States and Costa Rica are being organized, which means that it is really the beginning of a career as a soloist that is being offered to the winner of the Jacques Lancelot International Clarinet Competition.
The Jacques Lancelot International Clarinet Competition has been conceived as an event of exchange, sharing, emotion and motivation for its participants, but also for the students of the Conservatory of Rouen and for all interested people.
This is why all of the preliminary phases of the competition and even its final will be open to the public. The preliminary phases of the competition, even the semi-final, will take place in the Conservatory of Rouen and will be accessible to the public by buying a ticket valid for the whole week. The final round of the competition will take place in the Théâtre des Arts de Rouen with the participation of the Orchestre de l'Opéra de Rouen/Haute Normandie and will be part of their musical season.
In addition, we wanted to go even further to share the benefits of this event by taking into consideration the special opportunities possible due to the visit of the international soloists who will make up the jury. Their presence in Rouen will provide us the opportunity to enjoy two events : a gala concert and master classes.
The gala concert will take place before the week of the competition at the Conservatory of Rouen and will be an exceptional musical event because it will bring together some of today's best clarinetists. But this is not all; the gala concert will also feature the Orchestra of the Conservatory of Rouen, conducted by Claude Brendel, which will give the students of the Conservatory who comprise this orchestra the remarkable chance to share and play with such renowned artists.
Concerning the master classes, there will be four two-hour sessions at the Conservatory of Rouen during the week of the competition. Such classes will be open to public and the participants will be recruited nationally in France, giving the possibility to every clarinet student in France of becoming an active participant in such a privileged moment of exchange.
The Jacques Lancelot International Clarinet Competition, as the important musical event it will be, will fit perfectly and naturally in the great musical and clarinetistic tradition of our country, where it will become a great musical calling card. In fact, the French clarinet school, of which Jacques Lancelot is an important member, is known and recognized worldwide. Such tradition of excellence is represented, for example, in the great international clarinet competitions won by our compatriots and also manifests itself in the strong interest that students worldwide have in our conservatories. The CRR of Rouen itself, directed by Claire Paris Messler, is also a regular host for clarinet students who come from all over the world, specifically countries such as China, Japan and Costa Rica. The participation of our institutions (the CRR of Rouen and the Théâtre des Arts) by hosting the rounds of this competition is evidence of their enthusiasm for the development of music locally as well as internationally.

Valdemar Rodriguez
Victor Pereira
As a school of arts, the Academia de Música de Castelo de Paiva – Portugal, developed over the years a number of initiatives that have, as a goal, not only to encourage students to the musical practice and to the enjoyment of art, but also to extend the school’s project to the national and international level.
Some of those initiatives have brought to Castelo de Paiva some of the greatest figures of the national and international art scene.
“Academia Ibero-Americana do Clarinete,” which had its first edition in 2011, is one of these reference projects. The initiative, involving teachers and students from countries of the Ibero-american space, like Portugal, Spain, Venezuela, Columbia and Costa Rica, was a notable success leading to the sharing of experiences and contributing to the developments of pedagogical processes that have enriched all participants at the event, artistically and technically. Born from the synergies among students and teachers of the Ibero-american cultural space, the AIAC continues the collaboration maintained between personalities who, through their art, enhance the knowledge-sharing and the exchange of experiences, making possible the implementation of these reference projects.
It is intended that the second edition of the AIAC
will build on and reinforce these goals and
commitments. Teachers of recognized merit are the
guarantee that it will be possible to achieve these
desired goals.
Participants will be offered a space conducive to educational assignments. In addition to the individual work, all the participants will also be offered the opportunity to perform several concerts and attend (free of charge) all concerts and recitals incorporated into this event.
Who is this academy for?
Open to all clarinetists wishing to improve their musical skills in a privileged environment, the “Iberoamican Academy of Clarinet” offers a wide range of experiences, such as: Orchestra Repertoire, Mechanism and Warm up Techniques, Recital, Concerto, Contemporary Techniques, Chamber Music and Clarinet Choir.
Options/Extras

access, without any extra charge, to the following
options:
