From the 6th till the 9th of December 2023, the European Clarinet Congress will take place in Tilburg. In and around Fontys Academy of the Arts, there will be multiple workshops, lectures and concerts focussing on the modern role of the clarinet.
Blended Intensive Programme
Our clarinet-students from the Bachelor Music and Performing Arts, from the Master of Music and from the other European coservarories will take part in the congress via a so-calles Blended Intensive Programme. This Blended Intensive Programme aims to open up more opportunities for students to take part in Erasmus mobility. In total, the BIP will bring together over a 100 students from all over Europe, meeting hundreds of clarinet experts, professionals and amateurs. For these students, the congress will be a unique opportunity to get in touch with professional artists from all over the world.
