The Clarinet Quartet are part of the United States Air Force Band of the Golden West from Travis Air Force Base, California. This group supports a wide variety of musical events ranging from military ceremonies and patriotic shows to educational programs and recitals, excelling at all styles of music including marches, jazz, and classical.

The Clarinet Quartet are well-suited for music education engagements such as general school assemblies or music workshops for all ages, from elementary to collegiate students and beyond. The quartet has presented masterclasses at prominent universities, conservatories, and arts academies across the western coast. Their ability to configure into different instrumentations within the family has pushed the ensemble to expand their repertoire capabilities and have led to several commissions over the years by American Composers, most notably “Expeditionary Airmen” for Clarinet Quartet and Percussion in 2017.

As part of the Band of the Golden West, the mission of The Clarinet Quartet is to harness musical excellence to HONOR our nation and those who have served, INSPIRE patriotism and resilience in our Airmen, Guardians, and nations’ citizens, and CONNECT the Air Force with the American public and community partners. The excellence demonstrated by the Clarinet Quartet reflects the excellence displayed by all Airmen stationed worldwide, whose selfless service and sacrifices ensure the freedoms enjoyed by citizens of the United States of America.
