Andy Clausen is a first year Music major from Antioch,
California. He picked up the bassoon to fill an instrumentation
hole in tenth grade, and hasn’t looked back. He has performed
with the Diablo Wind Symphony and other groups in the past, but
prior to joining the UCDSO had never been in an orchestral
setting. Andy hopes to enter the composition track of the music
major, and hopes to be able to be able to secure a job that would
allow him to continue to enjoy music.
