Dear Klarineters,

I wanted you all to know about an eciting summer workshop in Boston at =
the
New England Conservatory of Music. It's called Sound Encounters - A
Performance Workshop for Contemporary Music and takes place from June 13 =
-
17, 2007. Below is a program description and information. I hoep to =
see
some of you here!!
-------------------------
Sound Encounters 2007 is an intensive performance workshop exploring =
20th
and 21st century music. The seminar will open on June 13 with a faculty
concert featuring the music of composer in residence Kenji Bunch.
Participants will receive daily coachings and masterclasses with members =
of
the faculty on selected solo and chamber music repertoire culminating in =
two
student concerts on Sunday, June 17, 2007.

The repertoire will encompass a broad range of contemporary chamber and =
solo
music with special emphasis on the works of Kenji Bunch, who will offer =
a
Friday evening lecture in addition to coachings on his music throughout =
the
workshop. Suggested works will be listed on the website
(www.soundencounters.info), but additional suggestions from participants
accepted into the workshop are also welcomed.

Violinists, violists, cellists, pianists, flutists and clarinetists may
apply as individuals or as pre-formed ensembles comprised of any =
combination
of the aforementioned instruments. String quartets, woodwind quintets =
and
piano trios are also encouraged to apply.

While composers are welcome to attend Sound Encounters as auditors, they =
are
also invited to apply under the "composer" category and submit for
consideration their own works written for any combination of the
instrumentation represented amongst the Sound Encounters faculty. One of =
the
afternoon group sessions at the workshop will be devoted to a public =
reading
by the faculty and subsequent interactive discussion of the chosen
composers' works. A recording of this session will be made available to
participating composers, but cannot be used for commercial purposes.

Auditors are invited to attend any or all of the workshops, with special
encouragement given to composers, who will have an opportunity to share =
a
meal and informal discussion with Kenji Bunch. Auditors may also be
performers who only wish to observe and not participate in the =
workshops. If
time permits, auditors may also sign up for private lessons with the =
faculty
at NEC's current studio rate.
