To be sure, the Oxford Concise Dictionary defines clarion as a "shrill narrow-tubed trumpet formerly used in war". A second meaning is "rousing sound"; a third, "organ-stop of clarion quality, clear and loud".

To my mind, what best describes the concerts of the Clarion Chamber Ensemble is "rousing sound" – one that engages, absorbs or compels attention.
