Eddie Daniels in Concert with The David Rees-Williams Trio
Saturday 11th February, 7:30 PM
Grammy award winning clarinetist Eddie Daniels will be the very special guest at an event being held at St Edmund’s School Canterbury, on Saturday 11th February 2012. Eddie will be holding a masterclass in the school theatre and appearing in the evening as a soloist with The David Rees-Williams Trio.
This is a rare UK appearance from Eddie and, with tickets for the masterclass and concert restricted,a sell out audience is expected.
St Edmund’s has a strong musical tradition, being the home of the Cathedral Choristers and the East Kent Children’s Orchestra, and lists former BBC Young Musician of the Year Freddie Kempf among its former pupils. The school has an on-going partnership with The English Chamber Orchestra, holding masterclasses and workshops throughout the academic year.
The day has been organised by CASS member Ian Swatman who is Head of Instrumental Studies at St Edmund’s. ‘Eddie doesn’t appear in the UK very often and this is an amazing opportunity to see him perform in the relatively intimate setting of our school theatre. It is very exciting for the school and a chance see one of the world’s leading musicians.’
Masterclass participant applications maybe made to igs@stgedmunds.org.uk.
