1994 - ICA purchases the extensive clarinet library of Jerry Pierce

Jerry Pierce, one of the last of Daniel Bonade’s students, had a “deep interest in the repertoire of the clarinet.” His Pierce’s Potpourri in The Clarinet magazine detailed many obscure and hard-to-find clarinet compositions – real treasures for clarinetists everywhere. After his death in 1994, the Association purchased his extensive clarinet library for the ICA Research Center at the University of Maryland. Jerry’s wife, Linda, coordinated the Society’s Commissioning Project for several years.
