Some of the biggest names in classical music will be part of the second International Clarinet Extravaganza to be hosted by the Odeion School of Music (OSM) from 28 January 2020 until 1 February 2020. The 2020 festival hopes to build on the success of the inaugural festival held in 2016.

Some of the artists will include Eddy Vanoosthuyse and Severine Sierens from Belgium, Marco Mazzini from Peru, Feng Mei from the USA, and Bence Szepesi from Hungary.

“The objective of the festival is to expose South African clarinettists (of all ages and levels) and educators to current international clarinet trends, excellent artistry, and the opportunity to receive masterclasses from top clarinet pedagogues,” says Dr Danré Strydom, OSM lecturer and convener of the festival.

The festival will consist of various concerts, clarinet workshops, composition competitions for high-school learners and university students, individual and group masterclasses, and an evening concert with the Free State Symphony Orchestra. There is also a special prize to be won by the top participant. The winner will receive a full scholarship to attend the 2020 Clarinets on stage Academy in Belgium.

UFS applications for admissions amid the ongoing SA Post Office strike

2014-10-03

Mail services in Gauteng, Bloemfontein, Durban and Cape Town are hampered by the unprotected industrial action of Post Office employees.

The closing date for applications for admission in 2015 was 30 September 2014. But, due to the strike, the University of the Free State has made alternative arrangements for first-time applicants who have applied via post for admission to study in 2015.

If a first-time applicant can provide the university with proof that he/she posted an application form for admission before or on 30 September 2014, a duplicate of this application will be accepted up until 10 October 2014. Proof of postage can be sent to Applications@ufs.ac.za.

If a first-time applicant is not able to provide proof of postage, an application for admission in 2015 should be sent to the same email address by 10 October 2014. The UFS will allow applications to be received until 08:00 on Monday 13 October 2014.
