Emma Johnson – clarinet
John Lenehan – piano
Paul Clarvis – drum kit

Emma Johnson is one of the few clarinettists to have established a career as a solo performer which has taken her to venues all over the world. Johnson has made 30 recordings to date. Her album English Fantasy has been streamed 5 million times on Spotify whilst Voyage and The Mozart Album both reached the top of the classical charts. Together with John Lenehan, piano and Paul Clarvis, drums, Emma explores the roots of jazz whilst paying tribute to some of the greatest clarinettists of all time – Sidney Bechet, Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw. ‘This is a fabulous experience, a trio par excellence – ebullient, reflective, historical and unquestionably uplifting. Quite brilliant.’ (Philip Dukes, Artistic Director, Marlborough Concert Series)
