Undoubtedly the most difficult instrument to master, the clarinet is however the most charming and delightful of instruments ever invented. The rich, velvety lower register warms the skin and soul like the most exquisite chocolate, the middle range soothes the nerves and caresses glands, while the dynamic upper register ignites the electrical impulses of the brain whilst miraculously clearing sinuses. Behold the romance and wonder of the charming clarinet!
Jeff Henderson has been enamoured with this instrument of high magic for 34 years, yet has only recently taken the step towards solo clarinet performance. Join him on a charming journey which celebrates the wonders of the delightful liquorice stick!
First Set – The Charming Clarinet, solo clarinet
