Bay Chamber Concerts Seeking Students

Daniel Bernard Roumain
Bay Chamber Concerts is participating in Daniel Bernard Roumain’s (DBR) “New Clef Coalition” and will present a residency and workshop for youth orchestra March 5 and 6 and a concert March 7.
Bay Chambers is premiering his new work entitled, “Symphony for the Dance Floor”. Recognizing today’s particularly challenging economic environment NEW CLEF COALITION was created out of DBR’s determination to help youth orchestra’s not merely survive, but to THRIVE.
Bay Chamber is looking for the following youth musicians to complete the orchestration:
1 contrabass 1 oboe 2 bassoons 2 horns 2 trumpets
1 trombone 1 piano
If you are interested, please contact Allison Lakin, Assistant Director of Education, before February 1, at allison@baychamberconcerts.org.

DBR is one of the most inspirational musician-composers and gifted teachers I have ever seen. During his residency with Portland Ovations last year, I watched him coach young people who had never held a musical instrument and collaborate with young rock musicians. He encouraged several students to pick up his treasured violin and taught them to play a few notes. To witness the awe in which all the students held him, especially the young people who had the chance to play his violin or collaborate in the creative process, was one of my most treasured memories.
Nothing like watching a gifted teacher Barri Lynn! Thank you for your comments. I hope I can see this man in action!
