Kathryn Ladano is a bass clarinet player from Kitchener, Ontario Canada. She has recorded four albums and has performed across Canada and internationally. Her first solo album, ''Open'', was released in August 2010. == History == She began playing the instrument while in high school at the age of 14, due to the lack of saxophones available. Unlike many bass clarinetists, she did not start by playing soprano clarinet. In fact she began playing that instrument several years later. Kathryn studied under Mike Bergauer in high school, and then with Tilly Kooyman at the University of Waterloo. In 1999, she achieved an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree in Music at the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario before moving to Calgary, Alberta. She acquired a Master of Music degree in bass clarinet performance from the University of Calgary in 2003 where she studied with Stan Climie. She then received a Canada Council for the Arts grant which allowed her to study with bass clarinetist Lori Freedman in Montreal, Quebec. In 2005 she performed at the World Bass Clarinet Convention in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. She has performed at concerts in Vancouver, Toronto, Guelph, Waterloo and Calgary. She is known for her improvised performances.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chestnut Music Hall Bios )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Arcday.ca: Brass and winds )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WLU News: Upcoming Concert features Alumni, celebrates Improvisation )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alliance for Canadian New Music Projects: Canada Music Week Celebration )〕 Kathryn was nominated for a Kitchener-Waterloo Arts Award in 2008 in the music category.

At the end of 2009, Kathryn was awarded a grant from the (Region of Waterloo Arts Fund ) which allowed her to record her first solo album, ''Open'', which was released in the summer of 2010. The album features numerous improvised works as well as the Star Trek tribute song "Evil Kirk". According to Ladano, "Evil Kirk" was inspired by the presence of bass clarinet on the original Star Trek series, particularly when a redshirt is about to die.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wilfried Laurier University News: ''Kathryn Ladano's Recording of a Lifetime'' Sept. 16 2010 )〕 Ladano is planning a Canadian tour in support of ''Open''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=University of Calgary News: ''Open to the unconventional'' )〕 Kathryn Ladano is a Vandoren Canada Artist. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kathryn Ladano」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
