Windfest is a three-week performance workshop designed for a select group

players, who will form two octets as well as smaller ensembles. The
repertoire will focus on wind music of the late 18th and early 19th
centuries (composers such as Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Krommer, Lyslivicek,
Druschetsky) as well as 19th and 20th century music with flutes. The
faculty includes members of the Canadian Chamber Ensemble and Toronto
Symphony.

CURRICULUM
Each student will receive a one-hour private lesson each week. Groups
receive individual coaching (10 hours per week) in addition to the dress
rehearsals for concerts.

CONCERTS
Friday evening student concerts; Sunday evening student concerts in the
Music Room, Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber Music Society.

SEMINARS
Weekly seminars given by guest lecturers will cover topics such as injury
prevention, rehearsal techniques, and career development.

This is a very intensive but rewarding workshop; many participants return
because they have found the experience has helped immensely with chamber
music performance and with working in an orchestral wind section.
