This course, led by clarinettist Heather Roche and cellist Erik Borgir, explores chamber music of our time as a dynamic space for collaboration, experimentation, and artistic exchange. Rather than a traditional masterclass structure, the course emphasises process and discovery. Through coached rehearsals, collaborative workshops, and open discussions, participants will investigate rehearsal strategies, communication within ensembles, interpretative decision-making, and the practical realities of contemporary chamber music-making today. Participants will have opportunities to form new collaborations, and to perform for the wider festival community.

The course offers a collaborative approach to the interpretation of open-form ensemble works by experimental composer-improvisers Annea Lockwood, George Lewis, Pauline Oliveros, and Terry Riley. The course is facilitated by the flutist and interdisciplinary artist Claire Chase - a teacher at Harvard and Juilliard universities. A special component of the course will be the presence of the composer Annea Lockwood, who will work with participants on her improvisation-based ensemble work bayou-borne. The course will culminate in public performances at the Time of Music festival. Welcome to the international festival & summer academy at the idyllic lakeside town Viitasaari, Finland!

But he sold it via internet over some platform and told me, that he sent it already before getting actually the money from his buyer. He told us that he had trusted a email coming appearently from Pay Pal, but it was (to his narrative) a false Paypal confirmation, that his client would have payed already and he the salesman would be allowed to send it to the "buyer". Until today I got nothing back, and the court says, that it was not dealers fault, because he himself was a victim of that fraud too. But that was all the result of the narrative of the dealer: I do not know who did what. I did not get one cent from the dealer or from any assecurance. I am very very angry still to this day and will be nice to the person who gives me (proves of) the information, where and with whom (name) the instrument is at present.Wed, 24 Dec 2025 23:27:44 +0000https://debussy.musicalchairs.info/de/stolen/1578?ref=6https://debussy.musicalchairs.info/de/stolen/1578?ref=6The International Wind Ensemble Academy & Festival (IWAF) 2026 is an audition-based, intensive 15-day summer program for advanced high school, university, and young professional musicians ages 16–29.
