9th Troy University Clarinet Day - VIP  Timothy Phillips, Director

Troy, Alabama USA

By Corinne Smith

               Troy University, located in Troy, Alabama hosted its ninth annual Clarinet Day on April 2, 2016. Timothy Phillips, host and Associate Professor of Clarinet at the John M. Long School of Music pulled off another fantastic day for young clarinet lovers. Students from Alabama and surrounding states participated in clinics, master classes, and a large clarinet ensemble. A diverse group of guest artists gave recitals, including: VIP Maria du Toit (freelance solo and chamber musician from South Africa); VIP Raphael Sanders (State University of New York at Potsdam); VIP Wonkak Kim (Tennessee Technological University) and his wife, collaborative pianist Eun-Hye Grace Choi; James Kanter (noted studio musician and mouthpiece aficionado); VIP Timothy Phillips (Troy University); Jennifer Tinberg (Troy University); and Corinne Smith (Troy University). The event was sponsored in part by the Buffet Group USA, Backun Musical Services, BG France, D’Addario, Vandoren, Silverstein Ligatures, the World Clarinet Alliance, and Troy University.

             The day started bright and early with an artist recital that included performances by Timothy Phillips, Jennifer Tinberg, Corinne Smith, Wonkak Kim, and Grace Choi. All 80 students then gathered in the band room for the first of three clarinet choir rehearsals that would take place throughout the remainder of the day. A clinic with James Kanter followed, where he talked about his career recording for television and film scores in Los Angeles. His clinic also included a discussion about mouthpieces and the importance of taking care of them. Maria du Toit wrapped up the first half of the day with a recital that included Kovács’ Hommage à J.S. Bach, Bassi’s Fantasia da Concerto su motivi del “Rigoletto” di G. Verdi, and Poulenc’s Sonata for Clarinet and Piano.

            After lunch, the students were refueled for the next guest artist recital, given by Raphael Sanders. Along with Grace Choi, Sanders presented a version of the Weber Clarinet Quintet, Op. 34 for clarinet and piano. The remainder of the afternoon consisted of master classes and clarinet choir rehearsals before the final concert took place. Proud parents filled the seats for a program that included performances by the Troy University Clarinet Choir, the High School/College Clarinet Day Choir, Maria du Toit, Raphael Sanders, James Kanter, Jennifer Tinberg, and Wonkak Kim.

            Both Buffet and Backun Musical Services generously donated clarinets to be given to two lucky Clarinet Day attendees after the final concert. The winners were chosen based on written essays about why music education is important and how it has impacted their lives. It was another fantastic day, and the clarinet community looks forward to the ten-year anniversary celebration of Clarinet Day next year!
