The 19-member Baylor Clarinet Choir is composed primarily of music education majors, performance majors and students from other department, many of whom who were all-state band and orchestra members. These students participate in the Wind Ensemble,Symphonic Band, Symphony and chamber ensembles. The members meet regularly to perform and study a wide range of clarinet chamber music, learning how to recognize and adjust for problems encountered on a variety of musical styles, and study clarinet ensemble and section problems encountered in various styles and performance situations. The choir rehearses and performs regularly and serves as the host ensemble for the “Baylor Clarinet Choir and Clarinet Chamber Music Festival”.
