KYLE GLASGOW

Hello!

As a classical clarinetist, I aim to generate connection and combat loneliness through music. I’m passionate about dismantling the barriers often upheld by classical music traditions to make it more accessible and relevant to all audiences. Whether I’m performing chamber music, commissioning bold new works, producing my own music, or pushing boundaries with EFX clarinet, I’m always searching for ways to connect with people and spark something meaningful.

Beyond performing, I’m committed to education and mentorship, inspired by my own journey growing up without access to a private clarinet teacher. Through my work, I aim to foster connection, inclusivity, and self-expression, using music as a bridge across genres, communities, and experiences.
