Sam Almaguer orchestral class

North Carolina Symphony Acting Principal Clarinetist Sam Almaguer visited Greensboro and worked with several students on the materials for the upcoming 2nd/E-flat clarinet audition for the Charlotte Symphony. The clarinet studio has maintained an ongoing relationship with the clarinet section of the NCS: both Andrew Lowy (now with the LA Phil) and Mike Cyzewski gave classes in recent years. In particular, many students commented afterward about how helpful Sam’s comments about general strategies for winning auditions were, describing how he schedules his preparation and how he works to sound creative and musically convincing.
