TO WELCOME RENOWNED CLARINETIST There
are few better-known names in the world of classical music than the brilliant clarinetist
EMMA JOHNSON. Malvern Concert Club
is excited to welcome this distinguished artist for its first concert of 2010.
She won the prestigious BBC Young Musician award at a very early age and
then completed her education studying Music and English at Cambridge before
embarking on a full-time performing career. Many works have been composed
specially for her. She has over 20 discs to her name and is frequently on radio
and TV as well as concert platforms. She
has directed concerts from the clarinet and has also been active in charity
work, particularly in connection with children’s cancer. As the Daily
Telegraph put it ‘To make a career as a
solo clarinetist is especially hard, but Emma Johnson has managed it’. Two
distinguished British colleagues will be joining Emma in this concert. PHILIP
DUKES was described by The Times as ‘Great
Britain’s most outstanding solo Viola player’ and has many major
international concerts and recordings to his name as well being Professor of
Viola at the Royal Academy. JOHN
LENEHAN is noted for his work as solo pianist and with leading chamber groups;
he has appeared with such musicians as Nigel Kennedy and Julian Lloyd Webber and
is featured on many recordings. These
outstanding musicians will perform for Malvern a programme of mainly of 19th
century Romantic works by Schumann, Brahms and Max Bruch. The concert will
conclude with Mozart’s exhilarating ‘skittle alley’ trio; guaranteed to
blow away any remaining winter blues. The Club expects one of its biggest audiences of the season for this outstanding event. Tickets (Adult £15, concessions £14, students £5) for the concert, at The Forum Malvern Theatres at 7 30 pm on Thursday 28 January, are available from the Theatres Box Office 01684 892277 |
