[TPIN] Arturo Sandoval International Trumpet Festival - Follow-up

[jean trudel]

Hello All,

A few months ago I mentioned the Arturo Sandoval International Trumpet 
Festival being held at FIU in Miami. Here is a follow-up message from my 
friend Sam Lussier who is helping coordinate events... I forward it to all 
of you on his behalf...

Hi Jean. I wanted to give you a heads up to spread the word around town (and 
to Toronto through Chase etc..) that next May 15-18 at FIU we are hosting 
the 1st Annual Arturo Sandoval International Trumpet Festival & Competition 
(ITFC). So far the confirmed guest-artist/clinicians and
judges include: Malcolm McNabb, Gary Grant, Sergei Nakariakov, Bob Karon, 
Lew Soloff, Roger Ingram, Guy Touvron, and, of course, Arturo. I'm also 
organizing additional preliminary competition judges and clinicians from 
South Florida (6-8). I'm coordinating the event for Arturo (this is a 
separate entity from my FIU day gig) and will be sending out posters 
advertising the event in September.  We're also placing an ad in the ITG 
journal and the IAJE journal this Fall. Our website will be up and running 
soon and will have all the particulars. The host facilities are FIU and the 
Deauville Hotel on South Beach. Competitors can be 30 and younger and all 
styles are welcome (jazz and legit). The cost to attend the 4 day event will 
be around $225 US and we're getting a deal
at the Deauville for rooms as well. Transportation to the University from 
the Hotel morning and return at night will be complimentary. I look forward 
to seeing you (and many other Canadians) in Miami!

All the best,

Sam.
