Welcome to the Glickman-Popkin Bassoon Camp!
The Glickman-Popkin Bassoon Camp is a ten-day summer gathering for bassoonists of late high school or college age and above and all skill levels held at Wildacres Retreat in Little Switzerland, NC. Begun in 1978 by Loren Glickman and Mark Popkin, the camp meets annually and provides an opportunity for players to learn new methods and techniques for old excerpts and solos. With daily master classes given by Mark, Loren and our guest artists, as well as daily reed making classes and recital hours, this camp provides a unique experience for all levels of bassoonists. The environment in which the master classes are held is very relaxed, with no fixed order or selection of performers. In fact, anyone and everyone who wishes to play in a master class is given an opportunity to do so.
