Overview
The International Euphonium Institute (IEI) brings together a staff of internationally recognized performers and teachers to lead a 7-day intensive course focusing on the advancement of the euphonium through performance, understanding, outreach, and knowledge. The IEI aims to encourage conceptual learning, practical studies, fundamentals, and exploring new ways to present the euphonium in a non-competitive environment.
The IEI course caters to euphonium players and enthusiasts of ALL levels. We hope to bring together a great mix of aspiring young players, talented college students, motivated enthusiasts, and hard working amateurs!!
Participants will be immersed in recitals, chamber music, concerts, focus classes, and master classes. Participants will also have private instruction during the week and choose to perform in master classes as well as being offered solo and ensemble performance experiences at the Institute and in outreach concerts in the community. Participants can also recommend repertoire to be performed by IEI staff during the camp (Participant Duties).
