Vandoren Launches New York Master Class Series
February 2011, Paris, – Vandoren has launched a series of master classes at their
New York
advisory studio at
250 W. 54th Street
. The first in the series was with legendary clarinet teacher Yehuda Gilad. Yehuda Gilad integrates performing, conducting and teaching into every aspect of his music. As a conductor, performer and professor, he integrates these disciplines into "total musicianship". At the Colburn Conservatory and USC Thornton School of Music, Mr. Gilad has developed one of the most sought after clarinet studios in the world. The accomplishments of Mr. Gilad's teachings can be best noted through the success of his students, many of which are competition winning performers and principal players in ranking orchestras throughout the world. His former students include members of the New York, Stockholm,
Hong Kong
, and Seoul Philharmonics, the Cincinnati Symphony, the Royal Concertgebouw and the Minnesota Orchestras, among many others.
Over the course of two days, Yehuda conducted master classes with a number of area clarinetists to packed audiences. “We have such a unique opportunity,” commented David Gould, Artist relations manager. “We have this incredible advisory studio and a number of great artist/teachers. We thought putting them together could provide area clarinet student an opportunity to study with some of the greats. We are pleased with the turn out to our first event and we are excited to see what the next event will bring.” Following the classes, Vandoren hosted a reception in the advisory studio.
