35th Annual International Trumpet Guild
Blues & Jazz
6-10 July 2010
Information
INTERNATIONAL TRUMPET GUILD 2010!
Putting the “international” into ITG, the 35th Annual Conference will bring artists from most parts of the globe to Sydney. The first ITG conference to be held in the southern hemisphere will showcase the global nature of the trumpet – a musical instrument, above all musical instruments - which has reached out to the human soul for centuries across many cultures.
ITG International Conferences are a must-attend event on the calendar of the reputable trumpet player. ITG2010 will build on the strong foundations of past ITG Conferences by creating an environment of exchange. The dynamic conference program will offer delegates a mix of concerts, recitals, master classes, competitions and lectures to ensure the right balance of theory and practical experience.
This 5 day conference will kick off on 6 July 2010 with YOUTH DAY. In a rare opportunity, high school students from the USA will be on vacation during the conference and able to attend. Youth solo competitions, jazz and classical master classes and a concert featuring two world premiere concertos and the first appearance of the elite NSW Schools Trumpet Ensemble will all combine to make this a wonderful start to the week.
Australia and the Asia-Pacific will feature strongly, with leading players lining up to present the best of this region, including James Morrison at his first ITG event. Complimenting these will be representatives from around the world including the USA, UK, Thailand, Turkey, Greece and beyond. The array of clinics, lectures, recitals and gala concerts will be very rich and varied with several surprises and innovations to pique your interest.
ITG2010 is based at the beautiful Sydney Conservatorium of music, nestled into the Royal Botanic Gardens. The Basement, Sydney’s premier jazz club is the scene for our late night jazz slots and jam, sessions. All of this is in the heart of the city and only a short walk from the famous Sydney Opera House and Harbour.
