NEWSLETTER JULY - AUGUST 2006

        The 2006 Summer is almost half over with several listed Clarinet events having taken place and more coming.

As information becomes available, summaries are posted on the WKA News Pages to alert players about the events

and opportunities.  During the spring, outreaches through clinician tours by various instrument firms such as

Buffet-Crampon visited schools and music stores throughout the United States to encourage Music Education

involvement and support of programs.

Colorado Kids Learn Clarinet

Wednesday, June 28 18:56

         This year I arrived a day early and presented two workshops for the children of Eagle and Gypsum,

Colorado. There were over 100 students and parents from all over Colorado for the events titled

"Learn to Play the Clarinet." Everyone got a chance to play a real clarinet and learn the many

sounds it can make. I had a great time and the kids were wonderful. I signed a poster for each

student as they left.

         Special thanks to Liz Campbell from the Bravo Festival for organizing the events!

--Robert DiLutis, Clarinet

 

             In the past week, the WKA Membership application page became active and updated, with new features on the

organization site that will bring more interest and participation.  Every interested clarinetist, and even non players, are

invited to join and be part of this expanding clarinet community.  Past members are encouraged to update their information

including e-mail addresses so they can keep informed.  Promotional items and more services will be available

as soon as the LLC corporate status is active.  Given the true International reach of WKA, musical and other events

reach everyone, as the above photo gallery can show.  One situation as told by Berlin Klezmer Clarinetist Helmut Eisel

graphically shows concerns:

From:  Helmut Eisel <info@helmut-eisel.de>
To:  Ausland <info@helmut-eisel.de>
Subject:  Rundbrief Nr 16, 7/06
Date:  Sun, 16 Jul 2006 18:18:30 +0100
>Rundbrief Nr 16, 7/06


>Sorry, I have not the time to do an English Translation.
>Only the most important: I'm shocked about the bombs on Safed, two
>days after we finished the last performance there. Unthinkable what
>might be happen to be attacked during the Festival.
>And I hope, there will be more music and less violence between humans!
>

>All the best
>Helmut

 Hopefully the above message will touch players and hope solutions to make things positive can happen. 

 

          As the summer is coming to a close within the month, it is useful to reflect on the many successful programs

completed.  A foremost event held each year in various places and just completed was the ICA ClarinetFest  just

held in Atlanta, Georgia USA.  A value of such an extensive showcase festival is the diversity of artists and programs

and the chance to meet with these stars and inspirations.  Many players of all levels unite annually to keep touch

with the colleagues they meet and garner the chance to meet new people and get caught up in the pleasant insanity of

the clarinet.  Everyone should make their move to participate. This festival gathered over 1200 participants with so much

to do that there was not enough time to be everywhere.  Along with workshop festivals held in many other places, the

summer should be an extension of study and the exploration for more musical experiences. The next ClarinetFest will be

convened in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada next July 2007.

Charles Neidich Music Seminar 2006  -  4 - 13th August 2006

Charles Neidich's Music Seminar in Kitakaruizawa

Charles Neidich  and Clarinet Faculty

 

Charles Neidich (U.S.A.) Hailed by the New Yorker as “a master of his instrument and beyond a

clarinetist”, Charles Neidich has been described as one of the most mesmerizing musicians performing

before the public today. He regularly appears as soloist and as collaborator in chamber music programs

with leading ensembles including the Saint Louis Symphony, Minneapolis Symphony, Orpheus Chamber

Orchestra, I Musici di Montreal, Tafelmusik, Handel/Haydn Society, Royal Philharmonic, Deutsches Philharmonic,

MDR Symphony, Yomiuri Symphony, National Symphony of Taiwan, and the Juilliard, Guarneri, Brentano, American,

Mendelssohn, Carmina, Colorado, and Cavani String Quartets. Mr. Neidich has performed throughout Europe, Asia, and

the United States, and is a sought after participant at many summer festivals such as the Marlboro and Sarasota festivals in

the USA, the Orford and Domaines Forget festivals in Canada, BBC Proms in England, Festival Consonances and Pontivy

in France, Corsi Internazionali di Perfezionamento in Italy, Kuhmo, Crusell Week, Turku, and Korsholm festivals in Finland,

the Apeldoorn Festival in Holland, Music from Moritzburg in Germany, the Kirishima and Lilia summer festivals in Japan,

and the Beijing Festival in China. When Charles Neidich began studying clarinet with his father, Irving Neidich at the

age of 7, he had already started piano lessons with his mother, Litsa Gania Neidich. He continued studying both instruments,

but the clarinet gradually won out, and he went at the age of 17 to continue studying with the noted clarinet teacher, Leon

Russianoff. After 4 years at Yale University where he majored in Anthropology, Charles Neidich went to the Moscow State

Conservatory as the first recipient of a Fulbright grant to study in the Soviet Union. He studied in Moscow for 3 years

as a student of the clarinetist, Boris Dikov, and the pianist, Kirill Vinogradov. Known as a leading exponent of period

instrument performance practice (he is the founder of the noted period instrument wind ensemble, “Mozzafiato”.)

Charles Neidich was one of the first soloists to improvise cadenzas and ornament classical concertos. He has performed

his restoration of the Mozart Concerto throughout the world both on modern and period instruments. Mr. Neidich has

been influential in restoring original versions of works and bringing them before the public. A list of the clarinet classics

he has restored to their original form includes works as diverse as the previously mentioned Mozart Concerto, Concerti

of Weber and Copland, the Soireest cke of Robert Schumann and the Andante and Allegro of Ernest Chausson. Mr.

Neidich is also an ardent exponent of new music and has premiered works by Milton Babbitt, Elliott Carter, Edison

Denisov, Helmut Lachenmann, William Schuman, Ralph Shapey, Joan Tower, Katia Tchemberdji, Vasilii Lobanov

and others. He has championed John Corigliano's Concerto, performing it throughout the United States notably

with the Syracuse and Jacksonville Symphonies in performances many have called definitive. His recordings are

available on the Sony Classical, Sony Vivarte, Deutsche Grammophon, Musicmasters, Hyperion, and Bridge labels.

For Aaron Copland's centennial, he released the world premiere recording of his reconstruction of the original

version of Copland's Clarinet Concerto with “I Musici di Montreal” for the Chandos label. Mr. Neidich has turned

his attention in a serious way to conducting, and has appeared with the Avanti chamber Orchestra, Tapiola Sinfonietta,

Helsinki, at the B??stad Festival in Sweden, the Kirishima Festival in Japan, with the New World and the San Diego

Symphonies (in a triple role of conductor, soloist, and composer), and in Bulgaria with the Plovdiv State Philharmonic.

Very active in education, Charles Neidich is on the faculties of the Juilliard School, Queens College of the City

University of New York, the Manhattan School, and the Mannes College of Music, and has held visiting positions at

the Sibelius Academy in Finland, the Yale School of Music, and Michigan State University. He is in demand for master

classes around the world and for innovative lecture concerts he has devised such as "Old is New: how playing old music

on period instruments is like playing new music on modern instruments," and "Craft and Drama: how understanding

how Brahms composed makes for a more compelling performance." With his wife, Ayako Oshima, he has published a

 book on the basics of clarinet technique for the Japanese publisher, TOA Ongaku inc. Last Spring, Charles Neidich was

the recipient of the William Schuman Award given by the Juilliard School for outstanding performance and scholarship.
