The meeting begins on Friday, 15 May, with the first rehearsal at 5 pm and ends on Sunday, 17 May, from 12 noon with the final concert at the Chemnitz Municipal Music School.

The audience can expect a pure clarinet orchestra whose sound is reminiscent of a large church organ with its fine and powerful, colourfully nuanced sounds.
