Our courses are intended for all clarinetists who are interested in their instrument and especially in music. Children up to 15 years old will come with an adult accompaniment (parents, teachers, siblings, have free admission). The solo course is also combined with a chamber music course, which will be performed at one of the final concerts. It is also possible to sign up for the chamber music course only or for passive participation.
The project was created thanks to the financial contributions of the Domažlice City and Buffet Crampon.
