And as a Honorary Chairman of The Screening Committee Mr. Gary Karr (worldwide famous Double Bass Soloist) will concern with Japanese famous Professors and Mr. Duncan MacTier (Professor of Royal Academy of Music, London) also as a Committee.  The Screening Committee will judge for each section( Violoncello and Double Bass) separately, but all the member of Committee will judge together.

It is very convenient to transport instruments from the Airport to the Hall, because this City Hall Izumisano is very near of New Kansai Airport, and also we will help in finding volunteers who will provide practice rooms, transportation of instruments and accommodation. However, the expenses for transportation of instruments of overseas participants will be partly subsidized. For Cellist 30.000Yen,for Double Bassist 50,000yen maximum)


JUNE 17-AUGUST 4, 2001


The ITHACA VIOLONCELLO INSTITUTE (IVI) is a small number of positive-minded cellists from the U.S. and abroad (minimum age 16)who are professionally-directed or wanting intensive cello study. Students receive a great deal of personal attention, the focus being cellistic development, musicianship, creative practice techniques, a natural physical approach, and respectful working relationships.  Participants live simply within a supportive family environment and work very hard, spurred on by their rapid progress. Housed by the beautiful historic Colgate University campus in Hamilton, NY.  For more information please see their website.
