I haven't touched Clojure in a year or two, and I'm not familiar with 
instaparse.

I can say, from a terminology stand-point, that a grammar (such as one in 
EBNF) can produce a parser, which then produces parse-trees of input 
strings. So, perhaps you mean that you want parse-trees of strings in the 
grammar of EBNF? It took me a few reads to come to this conclusion—the 
expression "get a parse tree of the EBNF" threw me off.

It seems likely that instaparse is producing a parser, and may throw away 
the underlying graph (parse-tree) of the grammar.

Regardless, I have a Scala tool that parses EBNF. I'm not sure about 
interop, but it's all JVM, right? https://github.com/benknoble/loner
