Welcome to the eighth annual Colorado Clarinet Day! It is once again time to enjoy a day of great clarinet music. This year we will welcome Diane Barger from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and Denise Gainey from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.  Clarinetists from the Colorado Symphony and Colorado Springs Philharmonic will join the professors from CU-Boulder, DU, CSU and MSU-Denver in an exciting potpourri recital. Back by popular demand, a massed clarinet ensemble will present a concert of exciting clarinet choir tunes.
