Silverstein Global Clarinet Contest
Silverstein is hosting the first online global clarinet contest as our
appreciation to all clarinet musicians and students in the world.
Visit

for more details.
Facebook Group page is opened at
https://www.facebook.com/groups/SGCC2019/
===========================================
Goal
Pursuing a musical career is a strenuous process, there is no shortcut.
Musicians practice with endless effort to master each passing note with
precision and musicality. It is with this effort that they make the world more
beautiful and a better place to live.
However, many musicians do not have a fair opportunity to showcase their
accomplishments and efforts to the world. Such opportunities are limited for
many reasons such as (but not limited to) geographical location, access to an
educational system, and financial capacity.
This contest was created to provide amateur musicians, globally, a stage
to present their music without such limitations. In doing so, we hope this
contest increases the wide-spread interest in clarinet music.
Unlike other clarinet competitions, this event is not a skills
competition.
We want to recognize any and all musicians, regardless of age, whom
possess a great potential of talent for the future.
The Silverstein Global Clarinet Contest is our way to show appreciation
to those who have been working tirelessly to bring beautiful music into the
world.
This event is hosted by many renowned artists from around the world who
are leaders in today’s clarinet society. They are willing to share their
precious time and effort for the future of clarinet music. Without their
volunteered support and participation, this event would not be possible. You can
find a full list of the hosting team at
https://www.silversteinworks.com/sgcc/sgcc-hosts/
We hope that this contest is exciting and engaging for all participants.
