Tallahassee Youth Orchestras

Hannah Faircloth is a clarinetist and visual artist based in Tallahassee, Florida. She is a third-year doctoral Graduate Assistant at Florida State University and Adjunct Professor of Clarinet and Double Reeds at Florida A&M University.
 

Hannah enjoys exploring the intersection of art and music through research, mixed media projects, and collaborative efforts. She often presents her interdisciplinary work through performances, conferences and events, most recently at the International Clarinet Association’s 2024 ClarinetFest in Dublin, Ireland, and the 2022 Clariedescope virtual event.
 

A passionate musician, Hannah actively performs with the Solstice Reed Quintet, the Florida State University Symphony Orchestra and Wind Orchestra, Polymorphia, and Southern Winds. She has held positions with the Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra, Bach Festival Orchestra, Southern Illinois Music Festival Orchestra, and Vero Beach Opera Company. She has participated in SIU’s annual Outside the Box Festival as a soloist, visual artist, and member of the SIU Improvisational Unit, and has performed as a featured soloist with the Southern Illinois Symphony Orchestra.

Hannah is a dedicated educator, teaching at Stetson University’s Clarinet Clinic every summer and working with students in Leon County schools. She recently worked at the inaugural FAMU Chamber Music Camp in July 2025. She is looking forward to joining both the Tallahassee Youth Orchestras team as the woodwind coach and the Outreach Fellowship Program for Music in
Pictures with the Rosemary Beach Foundation this Fall.
