CLARINAIRES

clarinaires
The Peterborough New Horizons Clarinaires was formed in the summer of 2004 with 10 members.  The goal was to play clarinet music exclusively in trios and quartets to improve our skills.  Peter Ford conducted the group in the Fall of 2004. Since then, Gord Thompson has taken over as conductor.  In the summer of 2005 some of the members attended the Clarinet Masters Week in Rochester, N.Y. and in October 2006 the group was honoured to be asked to perform at the second annual Clarinet Festival at the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester. The group has played in a number of New Horizons Band concerts, church service preludes, and seniors’ residences.  Currently there are 19 members.
