Calling all alto, basset horn, bass, contra-alto, and contrabass clarinetists to Québec City, Canada, for the 3rd biennial International Clarinet Association LowFest, October 24-27, 2027 at Université Laval. Mélanie Bourassa will serve as Artistic Director and her Artistic Leadership Team includes the following members of the Canadian Bass Clarinet Association: Marie-Julie Chagnon, Stefanie Gardner, André Moisan, Marie Picard, and Eileen Walsh.
Although the previous LowFests were held in January, the next event will take place October 24-27, 2027, at Université Laval. October is an ideal time to visit Québec City—not only is this the prime time to experience the beautiful fall colours in this historic city, but the weather in Canada will be more hospitable in October than in January.
This four-day event will feature:
- Solo, chamber, and non-traditional performances featuring low clarinets (alto clarinet, basset horn, bass clarinet, contra-alto, and contrabass clarinets)
- Masterclasses
- Jam Sessions open to all
- Presentations/Clinics
- Young Artist and High School Competitions
- Composition Competition
- Low Clarinet Choir
- Exhibits with sheet music, instruments, mouthpieces, reeds, ligatures, cases, repair stations, and everything low clarinet!
