Texas State Clarinet Fiesta

What is Clarinet Fiesta?

TEXAS STATE CLARINET FIESTA is a musical event in the beautiful campus of Texas State University.

This weekend long clarinet joy in the “Heart of Texas” will create great opportunities for clarinet players to learn from some of the leading clarinetists from around the World. Clarinetists will have a free access to all of the master classes, clinics, concerts and exhibits.

All participants will have a chance to win a brand-new Buffet Crampon Tradition GALA Professional Model Clarinet. The winner of the new clarinet will receive the instrument at the closing ceremony of the event. In addition, the case of the clarinet will be personally signed by all of the International Guest Artists/Professors.

The Texas State Clarinet FIESTA is NOT a COMPETITION. It is a WEEKEND LONG CLARINET FUN!

IT IS OPEN TO ALL LEVELS AND AGES!
