Hello! My name is Raul Arredondo, and I’m currently a junior at Fresno State pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Music Education.

I’m incredibly honored to share that the Fresno State Clarinet Studio has been invited to perform at the prestigious International Clarinet Association Conference. Under the inspiring leadership of Dr. Amelia Smith, I’ve been selected as one of only ten musicians to represent our university and I’ve also been chosen to perform as a soloist with the ensemble.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity that marks a major milestone in my musical journey. It means the world to be recognized on this level, and I’m doing everything I can to make it possible. That’s why I’m reaching out for your support.

Whether it’s a small donation or simply sharing this with others, any help brings me closer to this dream. Your generosity will help cover travel expenses, lodging, and other costs associated with attending and performing at the conference.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story. I’m beyond grateful for your support as I continue growing as a musician, educator, and advocate for the power of music in our communities.

From,

Raul Arredondo
