Stanley H. Clark - teacher, composer, maestro, father, friend -gave all who knew him a glorious musical adventure. Stan’s legacy lives on in the lives of children, grandchildren, countless students and fellow musicians who were inspired under his baton.

This was a musical life well lived and widely shared.
