International Clarinet Association

[1] The International Clarinet Society began in 1964, as the University of Denver called for and funded national conferences to mark its centennial year.

Strouf organized subsequent annual Clinics until he left the University of Denver in 1967.

The organization drafted a mission statement, formed officers and committees, and began the publication of the quarterly journal, The Clarinet.

[2] The ICA hosts several competitions: composition, high school, orchestral audition, research, and young artist.

[3] After the death of the Society's third president, Jerry Pierce, in 1994, the International Clarinet Association purchased his extensive clarinet score library, which is now a large portion of the ICA Research Center at the University of Maryland.
