Mr. Nuccio officially began his position as Principal Clarinet with the Houston Symphony Orchestra in the 2016-17 season after seventeen years with the New York Philharmonic. He also serves as clarinet faculty at the University of Houston's Moore School of Music. Mr. Nuccio joined the NYP in 1999 as Associate Principal and Eb Clarinetist and during that time he also served as Acting Principal Clarinet from 2009-2013.
