Establisment of the Martin Fröst Foundation·Wednesday, March 13, 2019
The launch of the foundation will take place at the Stockholm Concert Hall on April 23, where Fröst will give a concert together with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra and Adolf Fredrik’s Girls’ Choir.
ABOUT THE MARTIN
FROST FOUNDATION
The renowned clarinetist Martin Fröst launches the Martin Fröst Foundation this spring in his homeland Sweden, followed by launches in Beijing, Paris, New York and London later in 2019. The purpose of the foundation is to give children and young people from all over the world the opportunity to receive music education, enable access to instruments and develop the classical concert form for future generations.
The main sponsor of the foundation is Buffet
Crampon, the world’s largest manufacturer of wind instruments and leader in
professional clarinets. Buffet Crampon will donate instruments to the
foundation and provide vital financial support.
The launch of the foundation took place at the Stockholm Concert Hall on
April 23, where Fröst will gave a concert together with the Swedish
Chamber Orchestra and Adolf Fredrik’s Girls’ Choir.
The foundation will provide resources that can improve and enable children’s and young people’s access to music education and instruments, with a particular focus on regions where cultural resources exist, but financial means are lacking. Buffet Crampon will donate 2 euros to the Martin Fröst Foundation for each student clarinet sold. In addition, the foundation’s purpose will be to support the development of the classical concert form – something that Fröst constantly strives to explore through his critically acclaimed projects. Partner Buffet Crampon will assist in providing funds to people and organizations aiming to open new doors and influence the development of classical music for future audiences.
“Because of recent developments in my life, I took some important personal decisions and also made some crucial artistic choices. The most important of these was to start the foundation. I am so happy that we are finally making this happen and for the great and generous support by Buffet Crampon.” says Martin Fröst.
“We are honored and enthusiastic to associate the name of Buffet Crampon to this humanitarian project. We have been very closed of musicians all over the world since almost 200 years and are very proud with this partnership to help artistic creation and talent of young musicians.” says Jérôme Perrod, CEO of Buffet Crampon Group.
Martin Fröst will be supported by a board including Hermann Stefánsson, professor at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, and Peter Norman, Swedish economist and former Minister for Financial Markets in the Swedish Government. The Artistic Advisory Board will be chaired by Yehuda Gilad, founder and professor of clarinet at the Colburn Conservatory and professor at USC, and will be assisted by the great clarinetists and teachers Antonio Saiote and Keith Lipson, who will also join the artistic committee for the foundation.
ABOUT MARTIN FRÖST
Martin Fröst is widely recognised as an artist who constantly seeks new ways to shape, challenge and rebuild the classical music arena and, together with Miles Davis, the only wind soloist to have received one of the world’s highest music honours; the Léonie Sonning Music Prize. The prestigious list of previous recipients includes Leonard Bernstein, Igor Stravinsky, Birgit Nilson and Daniel Barenboim.
The New York
Times has described Fröst as an artist who possesses “a virtuosity and a
musicianship unsurpassed by any other clarinettist – perhaps any
instrumentalist, in my memory”.
As a soloist and conductor, Fröst has performed with some of the world’s
greatest orchestras, including the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, New York
Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra,
Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Munich Philharmonic,
Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, NDR
Radiophilharmonie and other important ensembles.

National Orchestral Institute at the University of Maryland
College Park, Maryland
These are the hallmarks of the National Orchestral Institute + Festival where great performers commit to a vibrant and re-imagined world of symphony orchestras in community and beyond.
For more than a generation, the National Orchestral Institute has nurtured the development of America’s most gifted young orchestral musicians. During this month-long festival of electrifying performances – from chamber recitals to full orchestra concerts, these young artists perform with commitment and prowess. Festival events are on stage and offstage, both here at The Clarice and in our community, as the musicians of NOI+F forge a bright path for the future of orchestras.
Debuted at the University of Maryland in 1988, the National Orchestral Institute (NOI) has been a leader in the training and mentoring of young orchestral musicians for nearly three decades.
To address the changing world of symphony orchestras, NOI builds its summer program of rehearsals, masterclasses, concerts and seminars to better prepare students for the next steps in their professional careers.
You! You’re one of the finest young orchestral performers in the country and on the threshold of your professional career. You’ve been selected through a rigorous and competitive audition process to join an acclaimed orchestra of your peers. You love orchestral music and are ready to share its power with others while also renovating its presentation to reach new audiences.
Through rehearsals, masterclasses, sectionals, and seminars you will come in close contact with the country’s top orchestral performers, teachers, and thinkers. NOI’s orchestral faculty are drawn from prominent symphony orchestras and conservatories, while our conductors are major figures on podiums around the world. NOI members are visible advocates for the future of their art. They are in the community engaging with new audiences and performing in non-traditional venues. They are meeting donors and designing pre-concert discussions. They are leading the way!
NOI members arrive at the University of Maryland campus by 3PM on Thursday, May 30, 2019 and depart by 10AM on Sunday, June 30, 2019.
Most events take place in The Clarice, a 318,000-square-foot performing arts center on the campus of the University of Maryland. Acoustically superior concert and recital halls are under the same roof as sound-isolated practice rooms and lecture facilities.
Resident halls in various configurations (suites and apartments) are also located on the UMD campus and are a 12-15 minute walk from the performing arts center. Campus shuttles and parking options are available.
Conveniently located just outside Washington DC, the University of Maryland in College Park is the flagship campus of the University of Maryland System. There is easy access to the thriving cultural offerings in Washington DC by the Washington Metro train system.
