The University of Auckland will host an event open to all clarinettists: professionals, students, amateurs, and enthusiasts.
The day will include two sessions of a mass clarinet choir (open to all!) and two sessions of interactive workshops where you can learn new skills. We will have several workshops running simultaneously in each session so you can choose the class that interests you most! The masterclass and staff recital will allow you to hear and work with some of Auckland's best musicians.
Sponsored by local music stores: KBB Music, Dr Toot, MusicWorks, and ABI Music who will have clarinet gear to try out and purchase available on the day!
Entry is free - registration is essential.
Please note that this is not a catered event, should you wish to eat during the lunch break, please bring you own meal.
