To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the world's first ever specialist solo bass clarinet recital by Josef Horák, the WBC-Foundation hosted the first World Bass Clarinet Convention from 21st-23rd October 2005 in Rotterdam, Holland. These 3 days brought bass clarinettists, composers and representatives in the field together from all over the world for concerts, masterclasses, lectures, bass clarinet choirs and exhibitions.
