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!
