La clarinette : son histoire et ses grands interprètes

Beyond its musical and technical possibilities, the clarinet possesses a rich history, intimately linked to the evolution of musical repertoires and styles.

Through this two-part cycle, we will set out to discover a multifaceted instrument, from its origins to its most contemporary developments.

Throughout the eras, we will meet the composers and landmark performers who helped shape the identity of the clarinet. Classical music, chamber music, and popular repertoires: all universes in which the clarinet has established itself through the richness of its tone and the breadth of its expressive possibilities.

These two events will combine concert, presentation, and transmission, with the participation of clarinet class students from the conservatories of the 7th and 9th arrondissements.

A HISTORICAL MURAL CREATED BY STUDENTS

In parallel, students will produce a historical mural in the form of paper panels, tracing the major milestones in the history of the clarinet, its evolutions, its repertoires, and its iconic performers. An educational enhancement that will extend the discovery and allow visitors to see, as much as hear, the journey of this instrument.
