Online Digital Clarinet Academy - VIP Ixi Chen, Director - Dates to be announced soon
Announcement about this program by the Faculty
Clarinetists: In reaction to many music festival, camp and course cancellations, I got in touch with some friends and colleagues around the country to create a response.
The summer is a vital time for focused and immersive learning, so I’m incredibly excited that together we've assembled a robust and in-depth program, led by many fine faculty and guest speakers from across the country.
Each week-long session will include lessons and masterclasses, warm-up and technique classes, but equally (if not more) important, we will focus on what it means to be a musician in our ever-changing world.
The business of being a clarinetist, plus “field trips” to instrument makers, builders, repair, mouthpiece crafters and reed manufacturers will be an important part of the week. All of this offers you a chance to sharpen clarinet and business skills while expanding knowledge of the industry.
It will be an incredibly fun program power-packed with learning! Join us!

Clarineat Master Series
Introducing the Clarineat Master Series!
I'm always looking for new and innovative ways to create content for Clarineat, and I'm excited to introduce a new live podcast format where renown musicians engage in a casual conversation. Clarineat fans can not only tune in to experience the conversation live, but will be able to participate in a Q+A that I'll be hosting with both guests at the end.
They say "go big or go home," and so the first conversation will take place between none other than Anthony McGill of the New York Philharmonic, and his former teacher, Richard Hawkins, who is of course a renown educator at the Oberlin Conservatory, fantastic player, and master craftsman.
To watch live, simply follow Clarineat on Facebook and watch for the notification Wednesday, May 6, 2020 (that's tomorrow!) at 1PM PST.
PS: If you can't make the broadcast we'll miss you, but you'll be able to hear it later on the Clarineat Podcast and Clarineat YouTube Channel.

Berlin Phil Series - Evenings in Vienna with VIPs Wenzel Fuchs and Andreas Ottensamer
Berlin, Germany
These 2 concerts of the Berlin Phil Series takes us to Vienna. The star
guest of the programme is the clarinet as the protagonist in two works created
in Vienna: Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet, and Beethoven’s “Gassenhauer Trio”. While
Beethoven presents an otherwise rarely-seen good humour in his trio, Mozart’s
quintet radiates above all delicate noblesse. Our two Austrian principal
clarinettists Wenzel Fuchs and Andreas Ottensamer present the two works with
colleagues from the strings section of the orchestra.
