Musicians of the Ohlone Wind Orchestra
Director Tony Clements
The Ohlone Wind Orchestra, part of the Ohlone College Department of Music, has
been under the direction of Tony Clements since 2001, when he assumed the
baton from the ensemble’s founder and fellow low brass player, Philip Zahorsky.
In addition to his leadership of the OWO, Clements served as Director of
Bands at California State University, East Bay for the 2006-07 school year and
conducts the Ohlone Community Band.
A New York native, Clements studied with Bill Barber, Floyd Cooley, Tommy
Johnson, Jim Self, and Roger Bobo. In 1981, he was appointed Principal Tubist
of the San José Symphony, and holds the same role with its successor, Symphony
Silicon Valley. He has performed with the San Francisco Symphony, San Diego
Symphony, Oakland Symphony, Sacramento Symphony, San Francisco Ballet Orchestra
and San Francisco Opera Orchestra.
