[Michigan Bass Question Line]

25th Annual Troy Bass Workshop

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

Athens High School, Troy Michigan

The Troy Bass Workshop has become a tradition here in southeast  
Michigan.  This is a unique opportunity for young bassists to get  
together and play ensembles, get instruction from nationally  
recognized bass teachers and performers, and get to know other young  
bassists from around the region.  We will begin registration at 8:30  
am. The workshop will start at 9:00 am and end with a short informance  
at 2:00 pm in the Troy Athens High School Auditorium.  As always,  
teachers are welcome to come and observe (observation fee $15.00).

Our special guest this year is Alex Hanna, Principal Bassist of the  
Detroit Symphony.  Alex was named Principal Bassist after a search  
that included many outstanding bassist from all over the United States  
and Europe.  He has performed throughout North America, Europe, Asia  
and Australia.  His exceptional artistry and ensemble skills make him  
one of the outstanding young bassist today.  In addition to being one  
of our clinicians at the workshop this year, Alex will perform and  
talk about how he developed his career and what its like to be a young  
player in the Detroit Symphony.

Beside Alex and myself, our other clinician will be John Kennedy. John  
is a string teacher in the Farmington Public Schools and was formerly  
the Assistant Principal Bassist of the Honolulu Symphony. He has been  
nationally recognized for his work with young bassists.  He is a  
clinician at the Richard Davis Bass Workshop at the University of  
Wisconsin and the Bay Area Bass Workshop in San Francisco, and is the  
Director of the Young Bassist Program for the International Society of  
Bassists.

Please encourage your bass students to join us again for a daylong  
celebration of our noble instrument.  If you have any questions  
regarding the workshop, contact me at the address below.   I look  
forward to seeing your students there.

Sincerely,

Larry Hutchinson, Detroit Symphony Bassist, nationally recognized
