Northwest Clarinet Choir

The Northwest Clarinet Choir is a Seattle area community-based organization dedicated to our love of music and the art of clarinet playing, particularly music for large clarinet ensembles.  The group is directed by William Blayney.

We generally present three free concerts a year, in the fall, spring, and winter. To receive email notices of our concerts, please go to the "Contact Us" page.  To hear samples from some of our concerts, go to the "Listen" page.

We look forward to seeing you and hope you will enjoy the music!

Northwest Clarinet Choir is honored to have been invited to perform at the International Clarinet Association’s 2025 ClarinetFest in Fort Worth Texas this July. In preparation for this performance, our May 26th performance in Seattle will feature soloists Reis McCullough and Jim Heffernan performing Ponchielli’s Il Convegno with Northwest Clarinet Choir.  The clarinet choir will also be performing Clarinet Polka, Powerhouse, Tchaikovsky’s Waltz (from his String Serenade), Gerard Schwarz’s Waltzes and Funeral March from Rudolf and Jeanette, and two movements from Borodin’s String Quartet No. 2 in D Major.
