AUTUMN IN MALVERN
Malvern Theatres – Forum Theatre
Emma Johnson MBE is a clarinettist who has made a name as a best-selling soloist and recording artist. She won the BBC Young Musician of the Year Competition when she was 17 and has since recorded over 30 albums and given concerts all over the world. In 2023 she founded the Orchestra for the Environment. This is a group of hand-picked virtuoso players who all share concerns about the environment. They endeavour to travel in the greenest way possible to concerts and they make a point of performing, alongside the classics, repertoire which draws inspiration from nature.
For this special programme for Autumn in Malvern, Emma Johnson is the soloist in Finzi’s late ‘autumnal’ Clarinet Concerto and in Vaughan Williams’s English Folk Song Studies. She also directs the orchestra in music by Elgar, Holst and Britten.
Elgar: Serenade for Strings
Finzi: Clarinet Concerto
Vaughan Williams: Six Studies in English Folk Song for Clarinet and Strings
