The Board of Directors is soliciting the assistance of the general membership in identifying potential sites for future ClarinetFests® to be held in 2010 and 2011. Being sought are locations with the following attributes:
- Performance Space – Superior acoustical space with multi-media capabilities conducive for the presentation of concerts, recitals, lectures, and master classes. Having two or more performance venues in the same location is considered optimal. Minimum capacity of the large hall should be 1100-1300 seats.
- Exhibition Space – Approximately 15,000 sq. ft. exhibition/ballroom space located in or near the same facility as where program presentations will take place.
- Housing – Convenient housing (hotel/dorm) with a variety of price options able to accommodate budgets ranging from students to corporate executives. Capability to house a minimum of 800 individuals.
- Travel – Access to major transportation centers (i.e. – airports, train stations, etc.)
- Excursions – Interesting tourist activities in, or within the vicinity of, the city/area of venue.
- Other – Incorporation of area musical resources (i.e. – professional symphony orchestras, jazz ensembles, chamber musicians, military ensembles, etc.) adds greatly to the local experience for those attending ClarinetFests.
- Program Director – Whereas it is not required that site nominations include an artistic coordinator and/or event facilitator, nominations are encouraged for individuals to serve in these capacities.
Send site nominations/recommendations addressing desired attributes listed above by May 15, 2008 to:
