There's a new star in the firmament. Romie de Guise-Langlois is a spectacular technician and an even better musician who's gotten well-deserved praise on the Klarinet list. http://test.woodwind.org/Databases/Klarinet/2009/07/000144.txt

A radio interview and concert is at http://www.vpr.net/episode/45766/, and Performance Today has a great performance of the Beethoven Octet from Marlboro with her playing 1st clarinet. Go to http://performancetoday.publicradio.org/ and then to the August 11 program.

I was at McGill while she was there. She is one of the few young clarinet players today that are first and foremost musicians and then clarinetists. She studied with Michael Dumouchel there, then went to Yale and worked with Shifrin, and was later accepted into "The Academy" program at Julliard. She won concerto competitions at McGill and Yale, and I think just won one with the Houston Symphony.

She just finished school and is probably looking to pay the bills now

I saw her recently in Boston play the Brahms quintet, it was amazing.

Here are some links for those of you who want to listen more:

I surely hope she makes it.

Ken, and others that may have been there,

I visited the website. Is this the girl that was at Mannes School of Music for its first clarinet day a few years back and played Stravinsky's Three Pieces for a masterclass with Charles Neidich? From what I can remember, her origin, look, and playing ability all seem to match up.

I do remember that girl vividly being an amazing player! (and cute too, which doesn't hurt ticket sales or my attention span during a master class!)

Google generates many hits for her. Here she is performing the Widor, Introduction and Rondo; Messiaen, Abyss of the Birds, Brahms 2nd Sonata around another interview on Vermont Public Radio:

The competition she won in Houston was the (I kid you not) Ima Hogg Young Artists' Competition. (OK, OK, the "o" in the last name is long.)

Best regards,

In response to my own earlier post, yup. I'm positive she's the girl I heard perform before at Mannes Clarinet Day. Unless there's another girl who looks the same, is also from Montreal, and is also a fantastic clarinet player the same age floating around somewhere that HASN'T been mentioned yet.

Here's when I saw her at Clarinet Day at Mannes School of Music, 2005.
