I am writing to the list to announce Windfest, a chamber music
workshop for oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and French horn. The class runs
from June 3-23, 1996, at Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ont. It is
a 3-week performance workshop designed for a select group of 16 advanced
wind players (four students for each instrument), who will form 2 octets,
as well as smaller ensembles. Audition is by audition (live or taped).
The emphasis will be on wind ensemble music by classical composers
(Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, etc.), also known as Harmoniemusik (quartets,
sextets and octets, without flutes). The course will be coordinated by
oboe instructor James Mason. Each student will receive a 1-hour private
lesson once a week. There are 10 hours of individual coaching of groups
per week, plus dress rehearsals in preparation for concerts. There will
also be 3 seminars on aspects of the music business: Applying for Grants
for Professional Musicians; Making a Presentation to Performance
Organizations; and Making a Living as a Musician Without a Full-time
Orchestra Job. The concert schedule is: 3 Friday evening student concerts
in the Maureen Forrester Recital Hall of the Faculty of Music, WLU; 3
Saturday evening concerts in the Music Room, Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber
Music Society; and 3 Sunday afternoon outdoor picnic-style concerts on
the Front Lawn at Langdon Hall, Cambridge. The public is charged
admission to all these concerts. Tuition is $268.00 Can. students for
credit (1995 rates, subject to increase); $939.00 Visa students for
credit (1995 rates, subject to increase); $350.00 non-credit.
Accomodation is available on campus at a specially arranged rate of
$150.00 for the three weeks. At this point, we are especially looking for
clarinetists. For more information, contact Pauline Minevich via e-mail,
