Chad
Burrow Assistant Professor of Clarinet |
 The winner of prizes and awards from the 2001 Young Concert Artist International Competition in NYC, the 2000 Woolsey Hall Competition, the 2000 Artist International Competition, and the 1997 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, the European press has said that Chad Burrow performs with “brilliant technique and tonal beauty mixed with an expressive ferocity.” In a summer of 2007 review, the Danish critic, Henrik Svane, went on to describe a Burrow performance as virtuosity, energy, and power without compromise. It is no surprise that Burrow was the only American clarinetist invited to participate in the 2003 Munich Competition. The former principal clarinetist of the New Haven Symphony, Chad Burrow is now the principal clarinetist of the Oklahoma City Philharmonic and Associate Professor of Clarinet at the Wanda L. Bass School of Music at Oklahoma City University. In 2007, he was also named Principal Clarinet of the Quartz Mountain Music Festival, Clarinetist for Camerata Pangaea, Instructor at the Alpen Kammermusik Festival and Artist/Clinician for Buffet Crampon, USA.

Smith Symphony Orchestra, Lawton Philharmonic Orchestra, Northwestern University Symphony Orchestra, Yale Philharmonia Orchestra, University of Central Oklahoma Chamber Orchestra, Oklahoma City University Wind Philharmonic, and numerous other professional and student ensembles throughout the world. His repertoire includes concerti by Copland, Crusell, Debussy, Francaix, Hartmann, Mozart, Nielsen, Rossini, Spohr, Stamitz, Weber, and others. In addition to his own schedule of performances, Burrow is the clarinetist for Duo Clarion, formed in 1999 at Yale University with pianist Amy Cheng. Duo Clarion maintains an active series of performances throughout the United States, Europe and the Far East. Their work has been recorded and released by Albany Records and by Wei Studios. Duo Clarion has garnered rave reviews and standing ovations from performances in Boston, San Francisco, Vancouver, Taipei, and throughout their most recent tour of Denmark.

Austin State University (Texas), Stonington Opera House Summer Series (ME), Civic Music Association of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma City Chamber Music Series, OK MOZART International Festival, and the Chopin Society of Mid-America.
