"The Perfect
Mix of Chamber and Orchestral Performance Training
"
K/BM
41st summer!
June
29 - Aug. 10, 2008
We are pleased to announce
the 41st season of Kent/Blossom Music, in association with The Cleveland
Orchestra and Blossom Music Center. This special summer at Kent
State University is sure to be one filled with excitement, fun and
most of all the joyous sounds of talented musicians performing some
of the world's best loved chamber music favorites.
In celebration of our
next 40 years, and in appreciation of our loyal patrons, the K/BM
Faculty Series and the Chamber Players Series will once again FREE
and open to the public.
The celebration begins
with the traditional opening dinner gala in the Kent State University
Schwebal Garden Room. Our special guest speaker for the evening
will be K/BM alumni Barbara Leibundguth, former co-principal flute
of the Minnesota Symphony.
In addition we are looking
forward to working for the first time with guest faculty artists
Marisela Sager and Saeran St. Christopher (flute) of The Cleveland
Orchestra, clarinetist Richard Hawkins of the Oberlin Conservatory
and international pianist Spencer Myer.
We do hope you will bring
a friend and join us for many of our wonderful concerts here on
the beautiful Kent campus in the Hugh A. Glauser School of Music.
Parking is free as are the lifetime of memories!
See you soon.

"As music director of the splendid Cleveland Orchestra....
Franz Welser-Möst is remaking the orchestra in his own image,
savouring more warmth, perhaps, than Szell, and a bit less than
Dohnanyi." Bernheimer adds that Welser-Möst "has managed to
combine rare virtuosity with compelling finesse. Avoiding exaggeration
and refusing to acknowledge the possibility of vulgarity, he has
persuaded his musicians to perform as if chamber music
were a universal goal. Even in grandiose romantic
challenges, he seems to value clarity, balance and elegance above
all."
Financial Times (London), Feb. 03
Kent/Blossom Chamber Orchestra
"... the artists worked together to
nurture a unified, keenly expressive concept."
