Dear clarinet lovers and fans,

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the newly founded Czech Clarinet Association (CCA). The foundation of the association was not easy, but already now it is possible to become a member. We believe that together we will be able to form a strong clarinet community, since the association is formed and run not only by the clarinet professors of the three Czech music universities, but also by the members of the leading Czech orchestras. This community should fulfil the main goals of the newly formed association. To achieve this, we mainly need YOU, clarinet players of all music genres and from any level of playing.

Czech Clarinet Association, member of Association of Music Artists and Scientists is a society that was founded to develop and support activities connected to the interpretation of clarinet music and to all instruments of the clarinet family (E - flat clarinet, basset horn, bass clarinet etc.) and to support creative activities with the purpose to stimulate musical, artistic, cultural and also scientific activities for members of the association. The purpose is mainly achieved through:
