Duo Clarion, formed in 1999 at The Yale School of Music, has toured extensively throughout Europe, Taiwan and the United States.  In Taiwan they performed in prestigious venues such as the National Recital Hall and the Taipei Music Forum.  Recent performances have taken them to New York City, Boston, Providence, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Iowa, New Haven, Maine, Texas, and their home state of Oklahoma.  This past summer was filled with performances at the OK MOZART International Festival and the Thy Chamber Music Festival of Denmark, with performances in eight different locations throughout Denmark.   They are delighted to be doing a residency with Community Music Works in Providence, Rhode Island this season.

To date, Duo Clarion has released two CD recordings.  They commissioned Edward Knight to compose Romance for Clarinet and Piano (2003), and their performance of the work was recorded and released by Albany Records in 2005. The work is a theatrical three-movement sonata Knight describes as “an intimate piece, one that only a duo with exceptional teamwork can pull off.”  In 2006, Wei Studio released another CD of solo and duo works performed by Duo Clarion.

Duo Clarion has thrilled audiences at Carnegie Hall as part of a program titled The Classical Legacy of Benny Goodman.  They have performed for numerous series and festivals such as the Amadeus Piano Festival, Norfolk Chamber Music Festival (CT), Music in the Pines Concerts at Stephen F. Austin State University (Texas), Stonington Opera House Summer Series (ME), Civic Music Association of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma City Chamber Music Series, and the Chopin Society of Mid-America.   They have been featured in concert performances at national and international conferences such as the Society of Composers (2004), 32nd Annual Clarinet Symposium at the University of Oklahoma, and the International Clarinet Association’s 2007 Conference in Vancouver. 

Duo Clarion enjoys collaborations with other professional ensembles such as the Providence String Quartet, and Van Dingstee Quartet from the Netherlands. They also serve as Artistic Directors for the Brightmusic Chamber Ensemble and its series of six programs in Oklahoma City.  Both members of Duo Clarion also maintain independent performing and teaching activities.   Chad Burrow was appointed to the University of Michigan School of Music faculty as professor of clarinet in 2009.
