> Hi Basset Horn Fans!
>
> Announcement:
>
> 1st International Basset Horn Festival Kandern
> 21 - 24 May 2009
> D-79400 Kandern, Germany
>
> Clarinetists and especially basset horn players are cordially invited to
> attend the 1st International Basset Horn Festival Kandern from May 21st
> through 24th, 2009 in the beautiful small town of Kandern, Germany
> situated at the edge of the Black Forest, near the Rhine Valley. The
> nearest larger cities are Basle, Switzerland (ca 25 km), Mulhouse, France
> (ca. 40 km) and Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany (ca. 55 km). There will be
> rehearsals, concerts including participants, workshops and an excursion to
> the instrument museum of Basle.
>
> It all started with the unexpected finding of two valuable historic basset
> horns (Uhlmann/Vienna) in a cardboard box at the attic of the local
> museum. These are now being restored and will be presented in each concert
> of the festival. From classic to modern will be presented and participants
> are welcome. Since the Basset Horn Meeting in Arnsberg was canceled this
> year, and since we have this joyous occasion here in Kandern, Dr. Peter
> Geisler and I have decided to organize the basset horn festival this year
> in the home town of the newly found basset horns. Visitors are coming from
> Germany, France, Holland, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, England and maybe
> USA and Japan. Registration is easy - just send an email. No charge, just
> pay your own transport and rooming. Not all concerts are completely
> planned so we are still looking at possibilities for basset horn
> performances.All proceeds go to help pay for the restoration of the basset
> horns. Kandern will never be the same again!

> You can download parts for the clarinet choir (performance on May 24).
> Hope to see some of you here. Book early - rooms are scarce in Kandern and
> if you have to stay in a neighboring village, the public transport is very
> thin.
