    Overview

    Helen Grime’s Seven Pierrot Miniatures project the composer’s uncannyfeeling for instrumental tone colours and textural contrasts, whilst herClarinet Concerto is a study in virtuosity that grows more meditative asit unfolds.

    Knussen and Carter have been formative influences in Grime’scareer; her duo Embrace picks up the duos in Knussen’s delightful Songswithout Voices, and the Carter duo, written for Knussen’s 50th birthday,mirrors this.

    Wigmore Hall’s Composer in Residence is supported by The Marchus Trust
