Dr. Vince Dominguez is an award-winning Mexican clarinetist, music educator, and creator based in Providence, RI. An in-demand music educator and clinician, he serves on the faculty at The Rhode Island Philharmonic Music School, Rhode Island College, and has taught masterclasses and guest lectures at schools across the country since 2017. Dominguez maintains an active performance career, performing as a solo artist, chamber musician and subs with orchestras across New England. He has performed and presented at conferences for the International Clarinet Association (ICA), the Arizona Music Educators Association, the College Music Society, and the North American Saxophone Alliance and SPHINX Connect. Just ahead, Dr. Dominguez will be featured as a Headlining Artist at the 2024 ICA ClarinetFest conference in Dublin, Ireland.
Outside of music education and performance, Vince has 10 years of experience in administration, holding communications, marketing and creative leadership roles with non-profit organizations such as the Merit School of Music, Ravinia Festival, Lexington Philharmonic, and Quinteto Latino, a chamber music ensemble dedicated to addressing racial and economic disparities within the classical music field by championing past, present, and future contributions by Latino composers and musicians.
Vince completed the Doctor of Musical Arts degree at Arizona State University in April 2020, where he held one of two competitive graduate teaching assistantships. His project featured a performance guide and three commissioned works for clarinet by acclaimed Mexican composers Victor Ibarra, Hilda Paredes, and Juan Trigos, each underscoring current sociopolitical issues across the US and Latin America. He is passionate about amplifying queer & BIPOC voices and fighting for causes that seek to dismantle barriers in classical music.
