FESTIVALS AND MUSIC DAYS
The School of Music and Community Music School offer numerous opportunities throughout the year for musical enrichment through a variety of Music Festivals and Instrument Days.
Delaware Clarinet Day
Delaware Clarinet Day is an annual event that celebrates the clarinet and features performances, clinics, and workshops for clarinetists of all levels.
The day-long event provides an opportunity for clarinetists in the Delaware region to come together, learn from experts, and share their passion for the instrument. It is open to students, teachers, and amateur musicians alike.
Trombone Day
The University of Delaware hosts an annual Trombone Day event featuring various activities and performances for trombone enthusiasts. The day's activities include a group warm-up, participant trombone choirs, middle school level activities, masterclasses, concerts, and a vendor area.
Bill Reichenbach is the featured artist for UD's annual Trombone Day event.
Jazz Festival
The University of Delaware Jazz Festival is a noncompetitive event where middle school and high school bands perform throughout the day for our adjudicators and their peers.
Each band will be given a recorded adjudication and a recording of their performance as well as an immediate debriefing. Awards will be given out to outstanding sections and soloists at the end of the evening concert.
New Music Delaware
In recent years, New Music Delaware has hosted a wide variety of composers and new music ensembles on the UD campus, in addition to presenting performances of works such as Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire and commissioning new works. Whatever the form of the event, the highly vibrant and innovative New Music Delaware Festival continues its legacy of supporting the next generation of great composers and masterpieces.
