Daily study includes
private lessons, master classes, recital performances, classes on
warming up, reed making and adjusting, orchestral performing, and
audition success. Housing will be with guest families.
Since 1996, the Belgian
Clarinet Academy had provided a week long, intensive immersion in
clarinet. Each student receives at least 3 private lessons,
participates in clarinet ensembles, receives chamber music coaching,
observes and performs in master classes and has the opportunity to
take classes in special topics like reed making and adjusting,
audition preparation, effective practice and even period clarinet
performance. The whole course is based on the philosophy that the
more you perform, observe, be observed and interact with other
clarinetists, the better clarinetist you become!
We share lunch and coffee
breaks together during each day for the specific goal that we have
the chance to interact in both a personal and professional setting.
Our evening recitals, accompanied by professional pianists, are open
to the public and draw a full house!
While we don't offer
scholarships, the tuition is extremely low and free housing is
provided with host families. Many students return every year and
request the same families! It is a wonderful way to experience
Belgian culture. Guido Six works diligently to make certain the
families match each student.
We have the pleasure to inform you that the
International Academy of Chaumont in the Marne (France) will take
place from 15 till 27 July of this year.
Thierry WARTELLE and Julien DESGRANGES, will assure
the clarinet courses. The courses will be distributed in binomial
(unique class).
Julien also proposes workshops of initiation and
courses of bass clarinet for all levels. (He will have at his
disposition several low and secondary clarinets).
Thierry proposes a workshop of discovery of the
Chalumeau as an educational tool.
We send you in attachments the elements of
information concerning the progress of the internship as well as the
practical information.
We remind you that this academy welcomes all the
profiles of pupils, amateurs or confirmed.
Do not hesitate to contact us for any further
information if some of your pupils are interested.
Best wishes,
Thierry WARTELLE, professor of clarinet in the CRR of
Amiens, France, and Julien DESGRANGES, professor of clarinet in the
CRR of Caen, France.

VIP Robert DiLutis, Director
ClarinetFest® 2014
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA
July 30 – August 3, 2014
ClarinetFest®
2014 –“The Clarinetist as Entrepreneur”
Artistic Director Robert DiLutis, Professor of Clarinet at the
University of Maryland (formerly LSU), and Artistic Committee members
William Blayney (Buffet Artist), Robyn Jones (University of Memphis) and
Michael Bartnik (Baton Rouge Symphony) announce the theme for the 2014
ClarinetFest®:
The Clarinetist as Entrepreneur “How to diversify and expand your skills and artistry for greater
success as a musician in the 21st Century.”
It's time to volunteer! We're on target to have one
of our largest conferences ever, and we need support from dedicated
members like you. The benefits of becoming a conference volunteer extend
beyond your complementary registration. It's a great opportunity to meet
artists from all over the world, make new friends and engage with those
who love our profession. Volunteers are expected to work 15-20
hours during the course of the event and be available from Tuesday
afternoon through Sunday in exchange for a complimentary registration.
Many different shifts and duties are available - if you have a special
skill, please let us know! The volunteer program is open to current
members of ICA. Please contact Volunteer Coordinator Cassie Keogh at
cassiekeogh@gmail.com by
April 15, 2014 to be considered for this program.
ClarinetFest® 2014 will be an incredible event. The 2014 conference
will be held in Baton Rouge, the capital city of Louisiana. As a 21st
century musician the importance of diversifying and investing in our
futures is paramount. The 2014 “Clarinetist as Entrepreneur” theme will
focus exactly on this. How do we survive and flourish as clarinetists?
The diverse skills and talents of our artists and guests will amaze you.
These musicians have not only mastered the clarinet and enriched their
lives through their multi-faceted careers, and also the lives of their
students and communities.
The conference will take place on the campus of the Louisiana State
University and will be located in three main buildings: The LSU School
of Music, The Shaver Theater in the Music and Dramatic Arts Building,
and the Union Theater, and will be tremendous venues for our concerts
and clinics. Two of these locations have been beautifully restored over
the past three years. We are also excited that our orchestra in
residence for the conference will be the
Baton Rouge Symphony, conducted by Maestro Timothy Muffet.
The LSU Campus is centrally located in Baton Rouge, with many
restaurants and stores within walking distance. Our official Conference
Hotel, The Lod Cook Alumni Center, is an elegant hotel located just a
five-minute walk from the School of Music and Union Theater. Local Baton
Rouge artist Diane Hanson has created the stunning artwork that will
appear on the cover of the convention program book, and the original
painting will be auctioned off as a fundraiser during ClarinetFest® to
the highest bidder.
Robert DiLutis, former Professor of Clarinet at the Louisiana State
University and current Professor of Clarinet at the University of
Maryland invites you to come to LSU and "Laissez les bons temps rouler,"
Let the Good Times Roll! His artistic committee and volunteers
have been working hard to plan a great event that not only features
presentations by dozens of great artists, but also a Cajun Swamp Tour,
Plantation Tour and Louisiana Shrimp and Crawfish Party. Don’t miss
ClarinetFest®, and bring your ears and your appetite!
