The Chattanooga Clarinet Choir
This 2012-2013 season is the Chattanooga Clarinet Choir's15th anniversary. Founded by Jay Craven in 1998, the 18 member all volunteer ensemble is composed of professional, amateur, and student musicians who share their love of music with the greater Chattanooga community. Robert Dugan conducts the Clarinet Choir; Nick Hartline, concertmaster and artistic director, programs from the ensemble's library of over 150 works.
The Chattanooga Clarinet Choir was able to purchase a number of new works this year with the help of generous donations. The December program, which included both transcriptions and original works for clarinet choir, featured two pieces by contemporary Japanese composers written in 2002 and 2003.
