Special Celebration Concert honoring the 90th Birthday of Legend Clarinetist

and Teacher Kalmen Opperman being held 1 December, 2009 at Weill Recital

Hall at Carnegie Hall in New York

 

We're very excited to announce that Kalmen Opperman's 90th birthday will be celebrated at 8:00 PM on December 1, 2009, at the Weill Recital

Hall of Carnegie Hall in New York City.

We're putting together a really wonderful evening of music, including New York music by virtuoso clarinetists (Kal's students, of course!),

performances of some of Kal's amazing Bach arrangements for clarinet, viola and cello, and a performance by the Kalmen Opperman Clarinet Choir.

Interspersed with the music will be stories about Kal's life of the clarinet.

TICKETS


Tickets will be $15. We will send ordering information in a separate email.


We would very much appreciate it if you would mark this concert date on your calendar now and let us know if you plan to attend.  Please reply to 

opperman@velocomp.com

SPECIAL REQUEST FOR YOU

 

The highlight of the evening will be the presentation of a book to Kal and Louise, containing photos and best wishes from people who have had the

good fortune to know them through the years.

We hope you will take a few minutes to write something to add to the book.  If you'd like to write a letter or note, please send it to:

John Hamann
4931 N Dixie Highway
Boca Raton, FL  33431

If you would rather send an email that's OK too: we will print out your email and include it in the book.

Photos would be really great; if you have some you would like to share, please send them to us and we will copy them and return them to you.  

Or, you can have your photos scanned at your local Kinko's and then send the images to us electronically.  We will print them and add them to

the book.  Please have your materials to us no later than November 15 so we can include them in the book.

 

PLEASE SPREAD THIS EMAIL


We are trying to get the word out to as many people as possible, so please forward this email to anyone you think might be interested in attending,

or anyone whom you believe would want to send an email or note of best wishes to Kal and Louise.

If you are willing to so, please send us the email addresses of anyone you think might have an interest in this special event, so we can add their

names to the contact list we are building.

Thanks so much,

Richard Stoltzman and John Hamann
