Inspiration: “a person
… that makes someone want to do or create something”
(Merriam-Webster).
The theme for ClarinetFest 2016 centers around the 5 clarinetists who encouraged
the creation of so much of the clarinet repertoire. From the 18th-century
Anton Stadler; from the 19th-century Heinrich Baermann, Johann Hermstedt, and
Richard Mūhlfeld; and Benny Goodman from the 20th-century. All inspired
the leading composers of their day to write for the clarinet. In addition
to performances of some of the music they inspired, there will be opportunities
to learn more about their lives and circumstances.
Not limited to influential clarinetists, other inspirations will abound at
ClarinetFest 2016. If you have ideas for other inspirations that might be
included, please contact the Artistic Leadership Team. ClarinetFest 2016
will highlight a greater awareness of possibilities and opportunities for
clarinetists of all performance levels.
An interesting series of daily concerts will be Forgotten Gems. If
there are compositions for clarinet that you believe have undeservedly slipped
from the awareness of many clarinetists that should be reintroduced, please
submit a performance proposal or otherwise suggest that a particular piece of
music be considered for this special series.
Thank you for contributing your proposals and ideas for what promises to be one
of the most memorable celebrations of the clarinet ever – ClarinetFest 2016 –
August 3-7, 2016, Lawrence, Kansas USA.

Charles Neidich has gained worldwide recognition as one of
the most mesmerizing virtuosos on his instrument. With a tone of
hypnotic beauty and a dazzling technique, Mr. Neidich has
received unanimous accolades from critics and fellow musicians
both in the United States and abroad; but it is his musical
intelligence in scores as diverse as Mozart and Elliott Carter
that have earned for Mr. Neidich a unique place among
clarinetists. In the words of The New Yorker, "He's an artist of
uncommon merit—a master of his instrument and, beyond that, an
interpreter who keeps listeners hanging on each phrase."
In past seasons Mr. Neidich has appeared in recital and as guest
soloist all over the world, and has been making his mark as a
conductor. In wide demand as a soloist, Mr. Neidich has
collaborated with some of the world's leading orchestras and
ensembles, including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of London,
Concertgebouw of Amsterdam, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra,
Halle Staatsorchester of Germany, Orpheus, the St. Louis
Symphony, Jacksonville Symphony, Pasadena Symphony, San Diego
Symphony, New City Chamber Orchestra of San Francisco, Athens
Chamber Music Festival, Tafelmusik, the Juilliard, Guarneri,
American, and Mendelssohn String Quartets, and the Peabody Trio.
In addition to performing as soloist, Mr. Neidich has, in recent
seasons, added conducting to his musical accomplishments. He
recently led the Cobb Symphony Orchestra and Georgia Symphony in
performances of the Franck Symphony in D Minor and the Mozart's
Clarinet Concerto (also playing the solo clarinet part). Mr.
Neidich continues to serve as conductor of the Queens College
Chamber Orchestra in Queens, New York City, with whom he has
performed the works of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven in
historically informed interpretations.
Recently, Mr. Neidich participated in a series of concerts
celebrating Elliott Carter's Centennial: an Elliott Carter Docu-Concert
at Vanderbilt University; an all-Carter concert at Merkin Hall
in November 2008 with the New York Woodwind Quintet; and at
Carnegie Hall's Zankel Hall as part of Carnegie Hall's "Making
Music" series in December 2008.
Mr. Neidich commands a repertoire of over 200 solo works,
including pieces commissioned or inspired by him, as well as his
own transcriptions of vocal and instrumental works. A noted
exponent of 20th century music, he has premiered works by Milton
Babbit, Elliott Carter, Edison Denisov, William Schumann, Ralph
Shapey, Joan Tower, and other leading contemporary composers.
With a growing discography to his credit, Mr. Neidich can be
heard on the Chandos, Sony Classical, Sony Vivarte, Deutsche
Grammophon, Musicmasters, Pantheon, and Bridge labels. His
recorded repertoire ranges from familiar works by Mozart,
Beethoven, Weber, and Brahms, to lesser-known compositions by
Danzi, Reicha, Rossini, and Hummel, as well as music by Elliott
Carter, Gyorgy Kurtag, and other contemporary masters.
A native New Yorker of Russian and Greek descent, Charles
Neidich had his first clarinet lessons with his father and his
first piano lessons with his mother. Mr. Neidich's early musical
idols were Fritz Kreisler, pianist Artur Schnabel and other
violinists and pianists, rather than clarinetists. However, the
clarinet won out over time, and he pursued studies with the
famed pedagogue Leon Russianoff. Although Mr. Neidich became
quite active in music at an early age, he opted against
attending a music conservatory in favor of academic studies at
Yale University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts, cum
laude, in Anthropology. In 1975 he became the first American to
receive a Fulbright grant for study in the former Soviet Union,
and he attended the Moscow Conservatory for three years where
his teachers were Boris Dikov and Kirill Vinogradov.
