Dear Friends and Family of The OSU ClariNetwork Ensemble,

We are grateful for the success of our Buckeye Funder campaign thus far, THANK YOU, sincerely! Our project is now in the last week period. We are still working hard to achieve our $10,000 goal.

We would like to share this update featuring an interview with our resident arranger, Dr. Evan Lynch. Here Dr. Lynch discusses about his Finlandia arrangement and its process. Watch this video below to see how this piece come to life!

The OSU ClariNetwork Ensemble is very fortunate and thrilled to premiere Dr. Lynch's arrangement at the ClarinetFest® 2017 this July! This experience will continue to bond together our musicians, and have a profound impact on their careers. Please consider supporting us to travel and perform in Orlando, Florida.

Thank you very much for your continuing support,

"Úlet" Sneak Peek!

May 21, 2017

Dear friends, clarinet and music lovers, and supporters of the OSU ClariNetwork Ensemble,

Happy Sunday! We are proud to present highlights of popular tunes from clarinet repertoire! Can you name them all?!

One of the pieces we are going to perform at the ClarinetFest® 2017 in Orlando, Florida, this summer is called "Úlet" which means Flight in Czech. Aleš Pavlorek, Czech clarinetist-composer, indeed takes the listeners through a flight of clarinet repertoire staples. These pieces are what Christopher Purdy, Host of Music in Mid-Ohio live broadcasts, would call "Music you know you know, even if you don't know you know it." This masterful collage includes major pieces from composers such as Weber, Brahms, and Saint-Saëns. The piece ends excitingly with a classic entertaining tune.

This update will feature a sneak peek of the OSU ClariNetwork Ensemble rehearsal of Pavlorek's "Úlet" for five clarinets and two bass clarinets! 

We hope you enjoy clarinet music as much as we do! Please share it with your friends and families!

Thank you very much for your continuing support,

~The OSU ClariNetwork Ensemble
