Well, that's just what Stanley Drucker has done.He has been with the New York Philharmonic for 60 years, becoming principal clarinetist after just a decade with the orchestra.During his tenure, Mr. Drucker has worked with some of the most renowned musicians and conductors in the world, including Leopold Stokowski, Leonard Bernstein, Pierre Boulez, Zubin Mehta, Kurt Masur and Lorin Maazel.Of course, Mr. Drucker is pretty well known himself; he is one of a handful of living orchestral musicians to have an entry in New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians.

On December 14, 2008, Mr. Drucker will be at Wright Music for a meet and greet from 11:00am to 4:00pm.He'll share reminiscences and talk about his passion for music.If we're especially lucky, he may play a little for us and offer some advice about selecting an instrument.

Wright Music will also have on hand instruments from Buffet-Crampon, Besson, and Antoine Courtois.Representatives for these companies will be on hand to answer questions and assist with demonstrations.

Don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to get up close and personal with one of America's most accomplished orchestral musicians.We'll also have a full range of Buffet clarinets for you to examine and try out.
