The ClarinetFest® 2027 Artistic Leadership Team is dedicated to the International Clarinet Association’s Statement of Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion (https://clarinet.org/about/ica-policies/) and recognizes the importance of representation within the clarinet community at this event. As such, the ALT will be organizing featured events that represent a variety of global music styles and traditions and also compositions whose composers and/or performers are members of a marginalized and/or protected community.
